( Each row in ~FNT is a row of the glyph and there is 7 of
them.  We insert a blank one at the end of those 7. For each
row we set, we need to send 3 zero-bytes because each pixel in
the tile is actually 4 bits because it can select among 16
palettes. We use only 2 of them, which is why those bytes
always stay zero. )
