I think I have found a way to better present 600 dpi
bitmaps of text - It involves a simple manipulation in
adobe photoworkshop -

Take the page and convert it to gray scale - blur it slightly
- reduce it to 158 dpi and a size which just fits the display -
I used a height of 5.8 inches - do it as a single bicubic
reduction - the resulting png looks good and it can be converted
to a PDB which also looks good.

The letters now have fading edges here and there instead
of jagged edges.
