After some investigation, i noticed this is because of the bmp transfrom to 2 bits black and white. What puzzles me is there is no color whatsoever in the original bitmap, so why does it map the edges of the letters to other than black??

I would say there is a difference between "black and white" (a single bit for each pixel) and "grayscale" (perhaps 8 bits for each pixel). While grayscale doesn't technically have any colors, information may still get lost when converting to one-bit black-and-white.
