Research direction

Start by reproducing the example from code.py on CircuitPython 9.0.0-alpha.2 and read the failing text path in adafruit_framebuf.py, especially around lines 507 and 581. Check how font5x8.bin is expected to be found; done means the example's Text test runs without the missing-file OSError.
