# Notes:
# Don't use it with big letters or it may lag
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# New Methods:
#
# Font
# Font#outline=(boolean), choose if the font is outline.
# Font#outline_color1=(Color) Internal outline color
# Font#outline_color2=(Color) External outline color
#
# Bitmap
#
# Bitmap#gradient_fill_rect(*arguments) #[New for XP]
# Bitmap#gradient_draw_text(*arguments) Look for instructions on the script
