I would also like to test this on the Lynx. The Lynx is also capable of 
scaling bitmap fonts with fractional sizes. Every bitmap can be scaled 
with a 16 bit integer.
  $0100 means 1:1.
  $0200 means 2:1

I know the tgi is meant to be simple and compatible with all platforms. 
So fractional scaling of bitmap fonts is already built into the Lynx 
hardware and naturally it would be cool to be able to support it.

Could the TXTMAGX TXTMAGY values be scaled up? We could have $10 as 1:1 
and $20 as magnify by 2

Using a byte to simply multiply the size by two or three is not very usable.
