Yes, I think if truecolor fonts just ignore the color, it would work.
The docs would mention that this is only temporarily and likely to
change. About the C version.. according to that one thread on a.cc a C
version (or a C version for each color depth) may be the best we can do
anyway, the i386 asm versions we have of other function don't seem that
optimal on todays HW anymore..
