Hello Everyone,

I have a question about RLE sprites.  I know that you can blit a RLE sprite
to a BITMAP and that skips the zero background, but is it there a nice trick
that can efficiently put a color _behind_ an RLE sprite?

I was just thinking that it may be possible to make a FONTs to be a
RLE_SPRITEs instead of normal BITMAPs for possibly some size/speed
optimizations.	The new font rendering hook in the latest WIP could be used
to use the correct rendering.

What do you think?
