For the font creator and bitmap creator provide a VERY simple bit map "corrector" #264

Use case: When creating fonts or converting bitmaps, sometimes there may be a need to manually adjust a could of pixels in order to make the font look better on the display. Desktop Font renderers normally work on high DPI displays where the fonts are normally rendered at quite large sizes. When these fonts are scaled down to smaller displays they sometimes need a few pixels moving around.

This is not by any extent a paint package, but a bitmap "corrector" where a couple of pixels from font or widget can be corrected.

This is not practical, and there are many good bitmap editors out there.

The font problem is separate and caused by relying on the Java 2D font support. Instead in the next version, we'll either provide a web service that generates pixel-perfect fonts or build something that may only work on certain platforms with the font generator only available there.

Either way, this is not the right solution.
