Description
GL_RGBA16F, GL_RGB16F and so on are missing from ofGetGLFormatFromInternal() and ofGetGlTypeFromInternal(). Is that because they're not supported on some hardware?

Research direction
Locate ofGetGLFormatFromInternal() and ofGetGlTypeFromInternal(), then inspect how nearby texture internal formats are handled. Determine whether GL_RGBA16F, GL_RGB16F, and related 16-bit floating-point formats should be mapped across supported hardware; done means the support question is resolved and the mappings behave consistently.
