Java bitmap font: blitting 1-bit image with different colors

Question

I\'d like to implement a simple bitmap font drawing in Java AWT-based application. Application draws on a Graphics object, where I\'d like to implement a simple

You might turn each bitmap into a Shape (or many of them) and draw the Shape. See Smoothing a jagged path for the process of gaining the Shape.

E.G.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.util.Random;

/* Gain the outline of an image for further processing. */
class ImageShape {

    private BufferedImage image;

    private BufferedImage ImageShape;
    private Area areaOutline = null;
    private JLabel labelOutline;

    private JLabel output;
    private BufferedImage anim;
    private Random random = new Random();
    private int count = 0;
    private long time = System.currentTimeMillis();
    private String rate = "";

    public ImageShape(BufferedImage image) {
        this.image = image;
    }

    public void drawOutline() {
        if (areaOutline!=null) {
            Graphics2D g = ImageShape.createGraphics();
            g.setColor(Color.WHITE);
            g.fillRect(0,0,ImageShape.getWidth(),ImageShape.getHeight());

            g.setColor(Color.RED);
            g.setClip(areaOutline);
            g.fillRect(0,0,ImageShape.getWidth(),ImageShape.getHeight());
            g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
            g.setClip(null);
            g.draw(areaOutline);

            g.dispose();
        }
    }

    public Area getOutline(Color target, BufferedImage bi) {
        // construct the GeneralPath
        GeneralPath gp = new GeneralPath();

        boolean cont = false;
        int targetRGB = target.getRGB();
        for (int xx=0; xx

I have to figure there is a factor of ten error in the FPS count on the top left of the blue image though. 50 FPS I could believe, but 500 FPS seems ..wrong.
