The text tool now has controls.

I'd like to leave a few printf() lines in until
everybody (Red Hat, Mac, SuSE, Windows, BSD...)
gets a chance to run the code. Sorting through
fonts is quite an error-prone mess, thanks to
font foundries that use irregular style naming
and sometimes don't supply a full set.

I now have 34 user-visible choices. I might cut
that down a tiny bit via a list of common clones.
For example, "Courier" is nicer than "Courier New"
and "Courier 10 Pitch".

Purposely failing to match up italic and non-italic
font styles might be of use. In that case, the
FreeType italic emulation will always be used. This
allows for double-italic, which often looks nice.
In general, italic emulation looks good and bold
emulation looks gross.

BTW, don't let me forget to free the style array.
