[epiar-devel] New font rendering

[Maoserr]

Good to know, I haven't look at that branch in a while.  I think the only  
thing left to do is to revert the screen flipping and make sure the font  
drawing with FTGL is flipped before it is drawn and also write the  
function to draw centered text. I'll take care of that soon.
