[MC-132736] TTFs are blurred as if displayed at low resolution

Expected Behavior: TTFs display in-game without blurring or resizing artifacts.

Observed Behavior: TTFs with detail above the Seven font's "resolution" are blurred as if the font is being displayed at an extremely low resolution. Note that this distortion does not appear outside of Minecraft.

I added an example of the TTF font, rendered with aliasing border, like on a black background and without alpha transparency support... Please, if TTF is the only way now to customize the font for Resourcepacks, make an option somewhere to select its resolution and allow alpha transparency.

Also, with TTF, please use true bold and italic, not the current trick (as shown in attachments).

Throughout all my attempts to convert my ascii.png to a ttf, the one where I got the letter spacing somewhat right, still showed significant blurring, even though the letters have precisely the same proportions than the vanilla ones ... just more detailed shapes.

Also adding an option for adjusting the kerning would help as some of the fonts I've tried are all bunched up.

I'm not sure the game still supports ttf's as of pre-7, so this issue could probably be invalid now. The default resource pack uses font textures again.
