It's not supposed to be better, just different. What I'm talking about allows for achieving intermediate effects for text bolding. The method you're using will certainly produce a stronger bolding effect, but sometimes it may not be legible, especially for very small font sizes. Alternatively, someone may want to use multiple levels of text bolding.

Because the programmed effects are done after the text is displayed and with italics it complicates things a bit, depending on the attribute associations the order changes.
What's more, my TEXT_P function works on any G0 to G9 SCREEN, so now I'll have to forbid the use of a screen used for the buffer (it's a shame we can't use local variables for screens).

There is a way to buffer the image without using G0-G9
