Fonts are not being read correctly however in the output file there is a
newline at the start, which means that somewhere is outputting a newline
into the output. This needs to be removed or changed to print to the
error stream.

## 18:57

The hostedlaunch script was adding a newline, hopefully removing that
fixes things.

I need something better for the font engine. That can more easily handle
drawing and is not associated with specific graphics.

## 21:43

Well, maybe just a font cache that changes accordingly like properties
change and such. That way it is faster and such. Could maybe render things
to a monochrome bitmap of sorts. I would want font drawing to be fast but
it seems it is going to be a bit complex.

## 21:46

Or when drawing things, I can setup a temporary text object and such and
then just map that to some bitmap.
