one bit transparency

[bitrat]

Thanks Ofnuts. I'm getting close. If only I could replace those white pixels with transparent, and persuade the whole thing to render from Inkscape, in colour ...

If I render the bw image from Inkscape using 'crisp-edges- render mode, it doesn't add gray, levels but this doesn't work for the one with alpha.

I can do wiw in GIMP so all good. Thank you.
