Text functions faster than Bitmap fonts ?!

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Text functions faster than Bitmap fonts ?!

One thing it would be useful to know in regard to the 'Text' command and TrueType fonts, is whether Blitz (or any external tool it's using for this purpose) precalculates the character images derived from the TrueType fonts, or creates them on the fly.

This sort of info really should be in the docs, for speed optimization purposes and general peace of mind on these type of subjects.
