  I don't know about Jon's setting, but in general, the TTCFont is
much slower than StrikeFonts when the color change is involved.  And
touches more and more memory especially in larger fonts.

  The bar, rounded corner, etc. shouldn't be too much trouble compared
with the text rendering.

  Just a random thought,
