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.
