Now, as a result of this anti-aliasing happens with the reduced image, which is bad because when you downsample it to 4 colors you can get "gaps" where the color information is lost due to the 2-bit grayscale limitation. As far as I know, even RasterFarian has pretty much the same output. Can you try with that and see how good the result is?

BTW, can you try again with 1.7? I replaced imagemagick with pngnq, this may give better output...
I'm travelling but I'll do some experimentation when I return. I highly recommend vmware and an old windows installation disk.
