Very small (12px in height and less) Monospace fonts (such as those used by gnome-terminal) will not be rendered this way because several users have expressed dislike of the effect; if you want to see whether you prefer them with the effect, remove

restart gnome-terminal (you need to close them all to do this).

I really, really can't help but feel that we are making a mess of this by specifically singling out Bitstream Vera Mono.

Other fonts have single-pixel-wide stems too, and at many different sizes, and in many different configurations of size and hinting settings.

If this problem is specific to the terminal, perhaps a better solution would be radio buttons in gnome-terminal's preferences.
