It's the way the characters are displayed that makes text rendering
useless. As long as it's set to 11 or 12 lines per character row, the
text shows just fine. It's the fact that it clips the characters instead
of doing what the VDG does which is show whatever lines of the character
data would have been shown normally on that scan line.
Because it clips the top of the character and there are 3 or 4 blank
rows at the bottom of the character cell, you end up with just blank
green or just bottom portions of a character depending on the "lines per
character row" setting.
