Prevent that users set a font size which is bigger than the physical screen.
It's unlikely this may happen (because screens are usually much larger than the
fonts and each font char is limited to 32x32 pixels), but it may happen on
smaller screens/LCD displays.

Note that we already have local vars w and h, albeit with the wrong
signedness.

There were already more opportunities for using w and h before...

I don't like the "h" and "w" variables. Maybe something like "fh" for "font-heigth"
would have been better explaining which kind of "h" is meant.
I assume that's why the patch below didn't used it either.

That said, I'd like to keep it as is (at least for now).
