 Although we could still think about a better naming I don't think we have
to build a new pngbuilder from scratch. Enhanced GIFBUILDER should be
enough, since it already does almost everything that's necessary except
handling alpha channels.

Another thing that could be improved is the calculation of height and
lineheight to get a correct positioning of Text with characters like Ä or g.
Lineheight calculation as such currently works with automatic line breaks
only - should be enabled for manual linebreaks as well.

Maybe we should set up a project on forge and start brainmstorming there?

Just my 2 cents
