Nice. Very, very nice! I've been looking for something like that. Much
better than the straight or beveled text, most modellers offer.

Did you write this in Delphi (or Pascal at least)? Is the source code free?
I'd really like to have a look at it. If possible, could you somehow make
the sources public or e-mail them to me (only if possible!)?

BTW, now I know what you could use the guiext stuff for. I'll really try to
finish this today or tomorrow and send you and Christopher Fairbairn a
preliminary.
