I believe there are rasterization algorithms that can sample the ideal infinite-resolution picture according to any sampling kernel (i.e. shape or distribution of light) you desire. They may not be cheap, but then computer graphics is to a great extent the discipline of finding acceptable levels of cheating in situations like this. So this is definitely solvable. Incompatibility with manual hinting tuned to one specific sampling grid and rasterization algorithm is the greater problem.
