It has to happen every time a PNG is converted from whatever format it is
stored as in memory to PNG. In other words, every time you save a modified
graphic.

We can let people select whatever font they want -- but only when they're
writing stacks.
The interface _might_ be able to deal with varied fonts, but only if the
characteristics (width, height) were simular. As an example, Chicago vs.
Charcoal vs. Virtue.
