Urgh.  You are joking, aren't you?  There are virtually *no* fonts
which support a size of 2pt!  Why do you need that?  At which
resolution are you working?  A 2pt size makes probably sense for,
say, 3000dpi and up, especially if you want to access CJK glyph
shapes.

Please provide a complete small code example we can test.

As a rule of thumb, never use a font size below 5pt.  If you need
something smaller -- and if you have a high DPI -- take a glyph at,
say, 10pt and scale it down afterwards.
