+- Render text as UTF-8, so TrueType fonts can display non-Latin scripts
+  - Glyphs are rasterized on demand instead of up front, so a large character set does not cost hundreds of megabytes
+  - Line breaking and truncation happen on code point boundaries, including the usual CJK rules
+  - General purpose `.vf` bitmap fonts resolve to their TrueType equivalents
+
