If they only use whatever free space there is in the skinbuffer we might get into trouble if they get too small and cause a spinup on almost any text drawing. Is there a limit to how many fonts can be used in a theme? Which also brings me to the biggest argument for the unified buffer, even if i understand you nor anyone else is eager to implement it. That if you use a lot of glyphs from one font and only a few from another you either waste a lot of memory or spin the disk a lot.
