I used to convert them to indexed so their size would be reduced. Since I
installed a new version, the semi-transparency is cut off and I have just plain
black on transparent background as if there were no antialiasing, very ugly.
I too used to use the ability to create indexed color pngs with semi-ransparent
pixels.
this ability seems to have been either removed, lost or broken in the more
recent release of gimp.
the png format can support it but it looks like gimp just does indexed color
conversion in a very GIF-like way.
GIMP has no support for this - there's an ancient bug report about
allowing real alpha channels in indexed files, see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86627
The PNG plug-in should load the alpha channel from an indexed PNG file,
but you'll have to et the mode to RGB in order to make use of it.
