Text functions faster than Bitmap fonts ?!

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

big10p, that's how I would expect it to work. But if that was so, why would normal text usually be slower than bitmap text?

Also there is a problem with normal Blitz text on certain ATI cards where it is corrupted (it gets a funny line across the top of each character) and is very difficult to read.
