* The GlsRuntimeFontBase class provides a specific font face for use within the GL 
* Studio.  The font face is determined at construction time by the 
* parameters passed in by the creator of the GlsFontBase instance.  Specific
* instances should be wrapped in a singleton object wrapper, as there is
* no reason to have more than one instance of the exact same face (meaning
* font family, style, and point size.)
*
* Once instanced, a GlsFontRenderer object can be used to render characters in
* Open GL at specific locations and with several different text effects.
