Well, when you choose a font for your documents you don't always assume that people will someday try to display it with only a couple bits of depth... unless I'm misunderstanding what you are saying. I think a lot of rich fonts are designed today with 8-bits of gray (256 grays - maybe someone more familiar w/ fonts can comment).

In any case you'll want to process pdf's with PDFLRF (see my post above). It really is amazing.

Have fun,

Mike
