No more font.wait()?

I remember discussing this new text rendering system, but I'm just 
unsure: is this the end of font.wait()? Can font.width() be safely 
called from the foreground thread? Would be pretty cool if possible.

Also, I think I've worked out why my selection system doesn't look 
right. Rendering is happening after each Scheduled thread completes, 
isn't it?

Back in Lithium days, I believe the core waited for a break in 
background thread activity before rendering. Is it going to be such 
again?

Otherwise, a lot of code is going to be complicated, because all of the 
rendering tasks you want to appear at once need to be complete before 
the current thread is finished processing. Messy.
