Research direction

Locate the implementation and platform-specific drawing paths for ofDrawBitmapString, then compare its coordinate convention with the other drawing commands. Done means bitmap text uses the top-left corner consistently without breaking supported platforms; check or add focused coverage if the repository provides it.
