also: "To store the ideographs for just Japanese as 16×16×1 bit images, the smallest they can reasonably be, takes over a quarter of a megabyte. Make the images a little larger, store more bits per pixel, and hold a copy in every running application, and the memory cost becomes unreasonable."
also: "details are hidden from the application, which instead sees only a subroutine to draw a string in a bitmap from a given font, functions to discover character size information, and routines to allocate and to free fonts."
