Yes i noticed & no problem ;)

'Core' or 'Common' would be fine to me ..

I didn't mean libraries, with clients i ment (remote)users

What i ment was that at first we would just use a bitmap to render
text, because rendering letters from vectors takes some effort to
accomplish while rendering text from a bitmap is only a couple of
hours work..
The bitmap font rendering would be replaced eventually, but it would
allow us to render text without having to write an entire vector text
rendering engine first.
