/*
 * Issue: Text display problems. 
 * I guess it's probably a bug in Processing 3.0b5.
 *
 * Text will be rendered incorrectly on:
 * Windows 10 (Java 8u51, Processing 3.0b5, set to 4096MB max. memory): some characters incomplete
 * Mac OS X 10.9.5 (Java 8u51, Processing 3.0b5, set to 4096MB max. memory): fast flickering (switching between desktop and processing sketch each frame)
 * 
 * Text will be rendered correctly on:
 * Windows 7 (Java 8, Processing 3.0b3)
 * Mac OS X 10.9.5 (Java 8u51, Processing 3.0b3, set to 4096MB max. memory)
