Anthony,

 just reminds me that I have code to draw text in a box. That is, scaled to
exactly fit into the box, stretched and skewed as necessary. Do other
platforms allow this, too? This would ease substitution a bit as we could
just force characters to be a certain height or width. It might look a bit
ugly with small fonts and won't stay true to the font's original look, but
at least stacks would remain viewable even with some fonts missing.

Cheers,
