Unfortunately, that doesn't help. It still blends, which means that if (for
instance) your edge is red, and you have a pixel that's 50% covered via
antialiasing, then that pixel comes out dark red (50% red + 50% black = dark
red) with 50% alpha transparency. Composite that over a white background, and
you'll end up with a dark halo.
What we need it the ability to have the blending not occur in the color channel
at all when the background is fully tranparent. As far as I know, that's not
possible.
