Hey Folks,

This is an image for a bumper sticker that demonstrates a new
micro-justification method of my Bordered Characters macros (version 1.4, posted
in the binary scene files forum).

Regards,
Dave Blandston

Yes, it does look good. But too close to the truth for some parts of the 
world. Go for the extreme option and Nuke them. Also "Bar Stewards" is a 
good euphemism. ;-)

Agreed, it's a horrible bumper sticker - way too much fine detail and very small
text. (Even worse: sideways!) It's a complete failure as a bumper sticker. But
it will look great on my locker at work!

I should have mentioned the reason that I chose this particular image is that it
demonstrates what I think are some useful capabilities. Specifically, the
vertical line of text has been scaled to match the height of the collection of
lines on the left, and so has the collection of lines on the right. The spacing
between lines as well as the width of the white border remains consistent
throughout the image.

Regards,
Dave Blandston

If it is for work. Then don't give the Bar Stewards any opportunities. ;-)

That would be a typical place for it indeed ;-)

Yes - those are fantastic attributes.
I worked on a word cloud a while back for a laser cutting / engraving project,
and I had to do it all by hand.  With all of the edits and revisions to get it
to look good on the final burn, it took _forever_.

The VISIO text shapes were a real blessing, I only wish some of the automated
word-cloud generators worked better.

Great work - there's no reason you shouldn't keep fine-tuning your work or
adding capabilities.  When inspiration hits - just run with it.

I'll see about copying files/photos and posting them from work until I get
internet at new apt.

I have heard of the Free State Project and your granite engraving project sounds
like quite an accomplishment. I'll be looking forward to seeing the pictures
when you post them.

I currently live in California and remaining here is simply not possible due to
the massive amount of corruption. I'm preparing to move my family to Montana.
