I can draw text!

Finally... the moment has arrived... I can draw text on-screen using a custom made font (just took a snapshot of some capital letters and threw them into a bitmap and then described them in the XML file)

The format of the XML is very simple and the bitmap is just a 256 color bitmap where the palette is ignored and the index is the transparency from 0-255. If someone wants to create a better looking font, I am very interested.

The XML attributes are as follows: (the tag name is entry)

char - the character index in decimal (32 = space)

offset - the left position in the bitmap where the character starts

width - the size in pixels of the character

I am very happy I have got to this moment, since now have enough visual features to display something useful. This is a very important milestone for Screens.
