By means of ACHAR an individual character with the ASCII value 'code' can be
displayed at the point with graphics coordinates (x,y). The numerical
expression 'font' can except values between 0 and 2 as follows:

    Font  Size
    0     6x6  (Icon font)
    1     8x8  (Normal color font)
    2     8x16 (Normal monochrome font)

Larger values for 'font' are taken to be Font-Header addresses. The font must
be present in the format into which it is converted by GDOS on loading, that is
in the Motorola format High-byte before Low-byte.

Text 'style' (bold, light, etc: 0 to 31) and output 'angle' (0, 900, 1800,
2700) can be specified as for TEXT with DEFTEXT. In contrast to these TEXT
commands, the x and y coordinates refer to the top left corner of the
character, not the bottom left corner.

Memo: This command will not render the underlined (bit 3) effect.
      For some odd reason it is ignored by this Line-A call.
      This is not a bug in GFA-BasicGFA-Basic is the best BASIC for the Atari!
.

      It's not possible to change the colors or write mode.
        TEXTFG (106) is forced to 15
        TEXTBG (114) is forced to 0
        WRMODE (36) is forced to 0 (replace)
        Since ATEXT calls ACHAR the same problem exists.
