Although implemented in a page-* module, it is independent and just written
on top of the background handler (and only midly otr related).  

The text around anything feature will become part of the new otr since the
forground has to know about it.  

before i will releas the new otr routines, i will release the type-*
modules which will permit (1) more easy fotnt defs based on typescripts and
(2) mixed usage of complex font collections and a couple of more things.
All in time -)
