Mmmm, at 1-3 pixels width per character it really is starting to get hard to draw a character with any hope of readability and you're relying on word shapes. However, one would assume that the smaller (5 point) size would be harder to read, than its larger (6 point) cousin, so I'll ask one of the DM people to look into this /after/ release. It could also be that the system-wide font rendering configuration changes settings at ~5pt as it "gives up" trying to alter (hint) the outlines to improve readability where there simply isn't the pixel currency to do so.
