"suffered from scaling" is the understatement of the year.  I think
that I actually tried avoiding scaling artifacts at some sizes by
doing a copy&paste&trim job, but that was not necessarily a win,
resulting in uneven features.

Ok, can you try working with the following triangles?  I've taken
quite a bit of pain getting them right as well as I could manage.  If
you fill in your little man, and don't do any dithering or other
nonsense when saving, we should get closer to "good".
