Sure. But it doesn't know what your fonts look like, of course.

1) color

  check out the rend_getfg() and rend_getbg() macro in image.h.
  AFAIR they return the "internal" representation of the color, where
  "0" means the "default" color. Use coli2e() to convert non-zero
  values to a real ANSI color, use any color you like for the
  "default color" case.

2) font

  the font information is basically just the ISO-2022 character
  set numbers plus some extensions. 0x00 is always the "default"
  font.

  size 94:
    0x30 (0) Alternate charset
    0x42 (B) ASCII
    0x49 (I) japanese katakana
    ...

  double with fonts use codes < 32 (i.e. control characters).
    0x01 (^A) GB 2312-80
    0x02 (^B) JIS X 0208 (1990)
    0x03 (^C) KSC 5601-1992
    0x0d (^D) JIS X 0212 (1990)

  utf-8 mode is completely different. It (mis-)uses the font slot as
  place to store the most significant byte. I.e.:

    utf8char = image | (font << 8)

  Combining characters are recoded to the range 0xd800-0xdfff.
  The real string is stored in the "combchars" array.

Cheers,
  Michael.
