Truetype basically means vector font. grub-mkfont can transform it into
the suitable for GRUB bitmap format. Other than the inconvenience of
having several prescaled size if needed, it results in identical results
(as in-per-pixel) at the fraction of complexity and much faster at boot
time (not all supported platforms even have FPU).
The patch you probaly refer to is anti-aliasing which is a separate
concept and the patch in question will be merged after 1.99 release.
