Just use the tcl/tk shell: toplucker.tcl

Not if you use fontconv rather than togray to process them.

You need to extend grayfont.c to handle a colored background.  It currently
can handle a colored foreground, after all, so it's just a matter of
modifying the interpolation formula.  I will be happy to incorporate this
into the codebase if nobody objects.  Of course it should only do this when
needed.

Currently the fonts have a "transparent" background when displayed, at least
the kerned ones.  That won't help you because, say, a 5% gray will look
white but will not be transparent.  There is no alpha blending in PalmOS 5.
