Hey All,
I got an idea from a post in one of the POV ng's, and made this little POV
file to measure the length of a text string. It is heavily commented and
contains full instructions on it's use. I hope somebody finds it usefull (I
know I will).

Thanks Eric, This is still quite new to me but I'll check it out and use it
anyway.

Feel free to use and distribute TEXT-SIZER.POV. I don't ask for money (in
the spirit of POV and because it only took me 10 minutes to write it). Just
a standing POVation (povation... ovation... get it?) and pats on the back
will be fine.

Hey All,
After using this for a while, I've added a plum line that runs down the
middle of the image. Makes it much easier to judge the length of the string
down to 1/1000 of a unit.
