These functions deal with displaying text in both graphics and text modes.
 This type of text output can be displayed in only one size.

This text is displayed using the  _outtext and  _outmem functions.  The
output position for text follows the last text that was displayed or can be
reset (see the  _settextposition function).  Text windows can be created
(see the  _settextwindow function) in which the text will scroll.  Text is
displayed with the current text color (see the  _settextcolor function).
