Question:
Let's say you paint a grayscale bitmap font in BitFonter2, and save it out as a pixelfont - exactly what comes out? Assuming that operation is even allowed, what do the resultant outlines look like?

Hrant,

when a font in in different mode that black-and-white, the Export / As Pixel outline Font option is disabled.

I mean, *different mode THAN black-and-white*, i.e. only plain B/W is supported.

If we imagine that the operation is allowed then we should expect the threshold (color to b&w conversion) operation being performed before tracing pixels like in the "Export to FL" operation.
