Bitmap #202205051728 uses bitmap graphics, that is pixels that stored in an array, to display glyph. Since it uses fix pixels, it needs to specifically adjust to variety of resolutions, which inflate its size.

X Core Font
There are several shortcomings of using X Core Font. One of them is that it is not easy to integrate the screen display and printed output. Second, since it is a server based implementation, local applications aren’t able to access the fonts directly. There is limited support for kerning (adjustment of spaces between characters) and other advance typographic features in using X Core Font, plus it doesn’t support font smoothing (convert 202205051735# to 202205051731#).

Outline Font
Outline #202205051728 is scalable, meaning that it fits to the resolution accordingly. This could result in a worse quality when compare to 202205051731 where the pixels are fixed. In order to figure out what scale should be used for a particular resolution, Outline Font requires more CPU time to compute the optimal scale to display the font. For modern CPU, it does not seem to be a problem.
