Masking Anti Alias images

Unfortunately, I do not have B3D.
Yes, the whole anti-alias edges really does annoy me, although I understand that B2D was only ever really designed for those old school games where you did pixel sprites.

Masking Anti Alias images

I recently got some photoshop shapes, which I like and look great, however when I mask them and pull them into Blitz I find that the image doesn't mask very well -- because the maskimage doesn't seem to handle anti-alias very well, if at all.

Font and resolution issues
15th April 2009

I've done some tests. GB Boot doesn't work properly in various Bitmap font generators I've tried.
I'm abandoning GB Boot and will be using something uni 05_53 as this is much closer to my original.
Now the problem is the text and resolution scale issue.*snip*

Just to clarify, "small fonts" does work, I'm wondering why it doesn't look the same as it does in Photoshop with the exact same size pixel?
