Text rendered below the cursor? about openfontrender

Hi @trailsurfer604
Thank you for using this library 😊

In this program, it is drawn from below the cursor (i.e., below the y-coordinate) because it is easier to code.
However, it would be possible to add code to draw above the cursor (i.e., above the y-coordinate).

I am not sure which is more common.
I will try to write some code to verify, please give me time.

A top left datum for text rendering is more common for Arduino TFT libraries. This is convenient for screens since any size text can be rendered at say 0,0 on the screen and other functions such as drawRectangle also use top left for the datum.
This is then compatible with the way other Arduino graphics handle the cursor datum. Note that Adafruit_GFX uses the top left for the basic GLCD font and set the trend for this, but then broke with consistency and used the font baseline for GFX free fonts so it does get confusing.

Ideally the ability to move the datum in the sketch is useful however the font metrics available allow this to be done in the sketch.

More detailed alignment settings are available in v1.1.
Try using the setAlignment() function.
See GitHub Pages for more information.

I am really sorry for the late update🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️
