Sure. I'm just curious why you want 512 font slots as a default. Many
people are and will be confused by this. I assume 256 font slots won't
confuse them because this is how all other operating systems work.

Should I also add a dummy argument for the 512 font slot mode (and if
so, how should I call it?).
