The whole plib font mechanism is based on an 8 bit lookup table; it would require significant surgery to fix. I believe the .txf font file format also uses 8 bit glyph IDs.

Could possibly be made a bit smaller (12 pt?). I thought first that we should keep the old style by default, and only make new ones optional. But maybe it's time for a change for v1.0.0? The light blue is really only suited for boys. We'd need a pink one anyway. ;-) m.

That's why I make the TIMES_ROMAN_24 font available, too, although it doesn't make that much sense. The second group are the fgfs specific fonts. They use some space, but have the benefit that they include all the fancy accented letters from iso8859. This should be good enough for 90% of all languages. (The plib fonts do only contain ASCII.)
