Classic's systems are supposed to be based on the default systems but to offer more flexibility. I don't like using say2 for mimicking the default signs.
It isn't possible to read from letters.png right now, and that creates a problem in trying to make a new system regarding it. If I were to make a new system regarding it, I would want to make it automatically wrap text and give it the ability to align the text for a line, etc.
The END graphic on Classic can't use letters.png because there's no possible way to grab the background color of letters.png from a pixel. In the meantime, redrawing the pixel a gajillion times would be quite inefficient.
