And yes, I would call a word processor that gives me boldface when I ask for normal, or proportional spacing when I ask for fixed spacing sabotaged. Such tools should do as the user asks, not as their author pleases.

By rendering on grey you will replace the transparent part of a pixel that was only partly covered by the object gray. While for rendering on a light (say white) square it should have become white. So the pixel gets darker, creating the illusion that the blackness of the object covered a larger fraction of the pixel, and thus that its boundary moved outward. But it doesn't move outward where the boundary happend to coincide with a pixel boundary, and the adjacent pixel will just be pure gray, later converted to transparancy. This is what makes the percieved biundary ragged.

And white / black / grey even is a favorable example; when colors are involved you also get hue differences.
