I didn't fix IABCUV yet, but everything else came out today, please flash the new ROM.

Also today are the new font support commands.
There's FNTnnnn and →FNTnnnn commands for each area of the stack:
→FNTMENU changes the menu fonts
→FNTSTK changes the stack levels 2 and up
→FNT1STK changes the first level of the stack
→FNTFORM changes the font for forms (coming soon, Forms are not yet implemented)
→FNTCMDL changes the font of the editor (command line)

Fonts are designated by name. You install a user font in the system by using FNTSTO (uninstall with FNTPG). You must provide a name for the font just like any variable. Then you use that name with the →FNTnnnn commands.
There are some fonts in ROM (all designed by our friend Helix):

8-pixel fonts:
'Font8A'
'Font8B'
'Font8C'
'Font8D'

7-pixel fonts:
'Font7A'

6-pixel fonts:
'Font6A'
'Font6B'

5-pixel fonts:
'Font5A'
'Font5B'
'Font5C'

Any of the names above can be used until somebody starts designing and publishing user-created font packs.

I personally like 'Font7A' for the menus, takes a bit more space but doesn't look bad at all.
