Apply dither patterns to font

It would be cool to apply dither patterns to fonts.

eg. I'd like to apply the horizontal pinstripe pattern to make every other line transparent. I guess draw modes would be of concern here.

But other dither patterns would be useful too.

Also, Caps is currently unavailable. When will it return? Font Tool has been removed in 1.1 (though I can still use an old copy I guess)
