-MAJOR BUGS
-
-* Unmarked text is still permitted.  (It now serves no purpose, so far
-  as I know.)
-
-* Click-to-display-a-full-page doesn't work in OS X 10.4+ unless
-  coalesced updates are disabled.
-
-* Problems using fullscreen mode under Compiz on Nezumi.  The symptom
-  is that the game flickers into fullscreen mode and then pops
-  straight back into a window.  Something to do with the Workarounds
-  plugin, but I've tried disabling workarounds individually and failed
-  to isolate the cause.  :(
-
-MINOR BUGS
-
-* FontInfo doesn't store accurate information on extremes, so
-  getFullArea(), line_space() etc don't actually return the area
-  filled by existing text.
-  (TODO: need to check whether this still applies)
-
-* Built-in save/load menus are broken when encoding is Shift_JIS
-  (TODO: need to check whether this still applies)

-HEISENBUGS
-
-* In Narci2, enabling auto mode and then fast-forwarding may have
-  caused me to end up with no text showing and nothing happening till
-  I clicked.  This was at the top of the first lift, IIRC.
-  (TODO: try to duplicate this.)
-
-* Some fades repeat randomly (doesn't happen in Linux, does in
-  Solaris) (can't duplicate this again - WTF was it?)
-
-
-FEATURES
-
-* Interpolation of %variables and $strings; we can then use #% and #$
-  for literal % and $.
-
-* SHY (U+00AD) support would be nice.  Also non-breaking hyphens.
-
-* Subpixel rendering when running windowed on an LCD?  (Okay, now I'm
-  getting silly...)
-
-
-NOTES
-
-text_info appears to be the "surface" used to store the text
-layer. While in text mode, glyphs are also rendered directly to the
-screen, but they are stored on text_info for later use.  Adjusting
-this so that glyphs were only ever rendered to text_info -- and that
-constantly overlayed on the screen -- would make it easier to arrange
-for things like high-resolution glyph positioning (render to high-res
-text layer, downsample).
