What do you mean the quality is not good enough?  Can you give me some
output
of Allegttf and what kind of output you expect?  IIRC Allegttf uses the
freetype 1.3.something so output quality should be pretty good.

Freetype antialiasing makes fonts look good at small pixel sizes.  It's
pretty hard to get better output than it makes.  Maybe you need a higher
resolution...

Please try to be more specific what you mean by 'quality of the output is
not good enough'

Thanks,
