Your message isn't clear how you tried to use GIMP. Did you use it to convert at PNG made with Inkscape? If not, then try exporting your Inkscape drawing as a PNG, then use GIMP to convert it to a GIF.
I was actually just pointing out that if I did something similar with GIMP, e.g. new bitmap with transparent background, white text, that it did what I expected.
I actually did what you suggested, but I gave up after I discovered that I was really dealing with a PNG anyway (see earlier message) and that I couldn't figure out in under 20 min how to get the image converted from PNG to GIF and still keep the anti-aliasing so the text looked presentable.
I finally took the original PNG, pulled it into GIMP and added the background color as a new layer to save as a GIF. Isn't what I wanted, but the visual effect is the same as long as I don't change the colors.
