For the backends it is just a matter of putting an image glyph string at the 
correct coordinates.  I don't know if transparent images has been tested well, 
but in theory that should be handeled already.

So the display engine needs to make the appropriate image glyph string, and 
send them to the backend after the text has been drawn.
