Any other suggestions on things I can try? Or am I just hitting a limitation of GM?

gm identify -verbose shows 256 colors

That results in "8-bit Gray 256c" - better but not 2c. BTW I'm using ImageMagick identify because gm's version doesn't seem to show this info.

I'd like to generate a two-color grayscale PNG (one that shows up in identify as 8-bit gray 2c) by drawing black text onto a transparent background. I haven't been able to figure out a command to do it. No matter what I do, it generates a 16-bit grayscale gray image. Is there someway to force it to output a 2-color image? An example command I'm using is gm "convert" "-size" "1340x1124" "xc:transparent" "-type" "optimize" "-font" "Palatino-Bold" "-fill" "black" "-pointsize" "80" "-gravity" "Center"...
