You already going to take into account that you are only going to have 12 or less pixels to make your point.

I started working on an Arabic font for screen, and I thought drawing
the glyphs on a grid from the start would improve rasterisation/hinting.
We are still drawing on paper, so it is yet to seen how beneficial is
