==== Monochrome fonts vis-Γ -vis fonts with shades of gray ==== [[File:AmigaColorFont.png|frame|A bitmap color font for the [[Amiga OS]]]] Digital bitmap fonts (and the [[Font rasterization|final rendering of vector fonts]]) may use [[monochrome]] or [[Grayscale|shades of gray]]. The latter is [[Spatial anti-aliasing|anti-aliased]]. When displaying a text, typically an operating system properly represents the "shades of gray" as intermediate colors between the color of the font and that of the background. However, if the text is represented as an ''image'' with [[Transparency in graphic files|transparent]] background, "shades of gray" require an image format allowing [[Alpha compositing|partial transparency]].
