instead of white and pink.
it's not really a problem for other font bitmaps because there's no color change in the game but for main font, depending on the situation, white becomes green/yellow/red/blue if text concerns a party member, black for member name in runes box, etc.
other colors are displayed as they are, especially greys and black.
so, could it be possible to color greys just like white is ? i ask this only for aesthetic reasons, to have smoother/nicer font.
and black would be considered as the transparent color, of course.

I noticed that the blending a colour with an alpha-transparent image is already being used by RTC -- on the mouse cursor.
It looks like you're making all the pixels black and still respecting the alpha transparency. Could the same principal be used for the fonts, so that we can use fonts with anti-aliasing that still pick up the masking colours?
I've tried to make hi-res bitmap fonts without antialiasing but they all look pretty ropey...

Re: grey levels for main font bitmap
For what it's worth, I'm resurrecting this to say that an anti-aliased main font should be easy to implement, as RTC already does this correctly on both the mouse cursor and the champion position icons. Simply change the matting routines used on the text to the ones being used on those other items.
EDIT: Looks like I already noticed this over a year ago!
