| Is it better to use Bitmap fonts in Blitmax rather than system fonts or a font file, i know in bltz plus, bitmaps were faster. |

| Yes, the built in font system makes a bitmap out of each letter/number. So, writing text requires that the current drawing image keep being changed. A bitmap font system doesn't need to keep changing the current drawing image, it just draws portions of the same large image. |
