Wrote a line of code that uses Imagemagick's 'convert' utility to render a string of text:

```
convert -background white -fill black -pointsize 8 -font ARIAL.TTF label:"AaBbYyZz" +dither -monochrome text.png

```

Specifically, I'm using the ARIAL.TTF from a Windows 3.1 installation.

It kinda works, but sometimes the text looks strange. Lemme show you what I mean. Here's an example of what the string "AaBbYyZz" looks like in Win3.1 versus the image rendered by IM: (both are 8 pt)

How it appears in Win3.1:

And here's how IM renders the exact same string, with the exact same TTF file, at the exact same point size:

What causes this disfigurement, and what can be done to make it look as clean as the Win3.1 render, or at least make it look better?

Thanks in advance.
