I'm aware of your changes concerning fonts.
Just one question, why it requires 32bpp , not 8bpp?
A raster font should be represented by a mask and 8bpp for mask pixels
is more than enough for representing font with fully opaque/fully
transparent and semi-transparent pixels. What you doing with rest 24
bits?
