This is different from the current Lynx implementation where it is the 
top left corner of the character bounding box.

tgi_outtextxy(0,0,"Hello World!");

If this is changed then the origo should be the hot-spot at the 
baseline. Definitely not the lower left corner of the bounding box.

I want to be able to render characters without having to calculate 
baseline offsets all the time.

Like print("A") change size *2 print('B'). The letters A and B should be 
on the same baseline.
