Hello again everyone,

Here is one more updated version of the bordered character objects and character
manipulation macros with a few more improvements.

The big improvement in this version is that the lower-case "a" has been
completely re-done. Also, some more clean-up work has been done and the
micro-justification feature has been fine-tuned.

I really feel like this project is finished now...

Regards,
Dave Blandston

I like the old one bye itself, but the new one when used in a word or 
sentence.

I have a problem in v1.1 with CSG and the letter objects produced.

I comment out this type of code;
#ifndef (TextColor_Outer)
    #declare TextColor_Outer = texture {pigment {color <1, 1, 1>}}
#end //#ifndef

In favor of;
#ifdef (TextColor_Outer) texture {TextColor_Outer}#end
In the Stylize macro.

If I pre-declare my textures things should be the same.
I can also have raised 'Bordered Characters' on an object with the same 
texture as the parent union/CSG.

union{
  box{}
  CreateParagraphTextObject()
}

That's a great suggestion regarding the assignment of textures. Thanks for
mentioning it!
