Complete text rendering rewrite. Adds fonts:
-A font can be one or two layers. The bottom layer is drawn first for the whole
string, then the top one. This is to let shadows and effects like edgeprint for
neighbouring characters overlap. Edgeprint now draws a string twice instead of
5 times.
-Each character can be a variable width
-Each sprite for each layer for each character can be any size, placed in any
position relative to the character, and use 256 colours. So you can add huge
graffiti like tails and things which extend all over the place.
There are two fonts currently loaded for each game: the base game font, and the
game font plus edges. To try out new font features at the moment need to use
hardcoded fonts, modify setfont. font_loadbmps is there for this.
The font code is incomplete, eventually it should have more support for
palettes and colour manipulation, multiple fonts, and font effects like shadows
and gradients.
I also changed the way Frame masks act. 0x00 is now transparent and 0xff is
opaque, instead of the other way around. masks are also now optional for
transparent blitting using draw_ohr. I believe there are only two places where
they are actually needed: enemies fading out, and scaled blitting
(sprite_draw). Everything else could now be changed to use half as much memory.
However, fonts are the only thing taking advantage of this at the moment.

Example, a small (2x6 to 6x6 per char) monochrome font I quickly drew,
lowercase letters only:

To use it, unzip
http://tmc.castleparadox.com/ohr/smallfont.zip
to executable directory and modify setfont.
Is there something funky about that zip file?

Hmm yeah, me too. I think I might have used 7zip to zip it, it has all
kinds of funky options.

(The zip file worked for me, with Winzip)
