Fonts are better than bitmaps, because the bitmaps cannot be scaled.
Game Courier uses bitmaps and rescales them for JPG, PNG, and GIF boards.
I am not so
sure about the desirability of having multi-colored pieces (on top of
outline and two colors for defining the filler shading gradient). It seems
to me that this would only degrade the ease of recognizing which side the
pieces belong to.
I will answer this with a picture:
This picture was created by Game Courier from multi-color pieces, and it was also rescaled. The use of multiple colors allows the pieces to look more realistic. Basically, allowing multi-color images allows photographic quality pieces.
