The original alfaerie set should be considered obsolete now that we have alfaeriePNG, and its use should be discouraged. The anti-aliased version looks so much better. But the anti-aliasing causes pixels on the boundary of the black outline and the colored interior to be darker versions of the interior color, by mixing in the black. So simply looking for an exact match of the original color fails to replace the boundary pixels. This problem can be solved, though: you could test every pixel for the value of the briggtest RGB component, and deduce from that by which factor it is darkened compared to the interior color. And then darken the replacement color by the same factor. (This assumes the outline is pure black.) To make it resistant to multi-color originals you could even check whether the other two RGB components of the original are indeed similarly darkened (within some tolerance for rounding.)

Quick Markdown Guide

By default, new comments may be entered as Markdown, simple markup syntax designed to be readable and not look like markup. Comments stored as Markdown will be converted to HTML by Parsedown before displaying them. This follows the Github Flavored Markdown Spec with support for Markdown Extra. For a good overview of Markdown in general, check out the Markdown Guide. Here is a quick comparison of some commonly used Markdown with the rendered result:

Top level header: <H1>

Block quote

Second paragraph in block quote

First Paragraph of response. Italics, bold, and bold italics.

Second Paragraph after blank line. Here is some HTML code mixed in with the Markdown, and here is the same <U>HTML code</U> enclosed by backticks.

Secondary Header: <H2>

  • Unordered list item
  • Second unordered list item
  • New unordered list
    • Nested list item

Third Level header <H3>

  1. An ordered list item.
  2. A second ordered list item with the same number.
  3. A third ordered list item.
Here is some preformatted text.
  This line begins with some indentation.
    This begins with even more indentation.
And this line has no indentation.
