I already realized that, but this example may be confusing to users. I
assume the close proximity of TEXT1 and TEXT2 were to demonstrate the
"normalized" placement of various glyph heights for multiple drawtexts,
but users may see this and wonder why you need to print "A.", with the
characters close together as in your example, using two drawtexts when
you could just use one (with text='A.'). Increasing X2 may make the
example less confusing in that regard.
