Override of font on drawChar doesn't change font away from base #2

I need to look into the code to see why, but putting my 7x15 font in the drawChar parameters (after the inverse) still resulted in it using the base set 8x16 fontset. Or at least the widths, it's hard to tell them apart :-)

drawString may also be affected, it's not clear.

User error - I wasn't specifying the font on my charWidth calls..

Good to hear you figured it out.

I'm not sure about whether that override is worth keeping in the API or not. Perhaps just calling DMD.selectFont() each time to change the default font is less error prone?
