But the font metrics have to be stored somewhere, right?  That was my
point: creating a texture file is really easy.  But actually rendering
an arbitrary font to the screen requires more info, and I don't know
how or where to put it.  I was under the impression that plib used the
glut ".txf" font format, but maybe I'm mistaken?
