Actually, what I wanted was what you have when doing '3' in the ftview  
program.

My idea is to put the first (key '1' in ftview) bitmap (as I do now)  
in the gray channel, and the "stroke" bitmap (key '3' in ftview) in,  
let's say, the red channel.

I will look into the ftview source, thanks for the direction.

Best regards and happy new year
