That’s right. You can provide a default in various ways, at build time, 
or per-user or systemwide

No, only to <textsub>.

Yes. As explained in the man page, “format” and “aspect” between them 
are used to calculate the correct aspect ratio when rendering the text. 
This way, the font always looks the way it was designed to look, instead 
of being stretched or squashed.

The old code assumed that the pixel density was always the same across 
and down. This was never correct.

By the way, glad to see you’re trying the Git source. :)
