Extensions that Display Text/Strings

[ProdigyX]

Soo I know the Text Blitter and String Object can display text/strings/characters. I've looked on FusionWiki to find that the Dev. only Character Image can display text/strings/characters. (I dont have dev.)

Are there any other extensions that can display the text/strings/characters? I ask because the string object does not allow for editing of the string to a custom format like the Text Blitter does (its bitmap). 2 issues I have with the Text blitter are

• Set Length and Width
  By this I mean each character has a set dimension, such as 14*20. Letters such as the letter "l" don't fill up the entire dimension which leads to gaps in my text.
  
• Don't know how to place my own Character Image Bitmap
  My solution to the previous problem was to create my own character map that the text blitter uses from scratch. However I have no idea how structure the map, even after looking at the some of the Text Blitter's Map

You could use active objects where each frame is a character, and, using a string to match up frames with characters, you could easily make the text string out of the actives. I'll make an example if you like

Yeah That would be nice. I'm looking forward to see how you do it

It's a pretty nifty way to do it. You can align the hotspots vertically any way you want, just leave them aligned to the left, otherwise the text will overlap. I only included CAPITAL LETTERS and a space and a ?, but you can make your own characters - just remember to change the Character Set global string to reflect it. If the FindString function can't find the string, it'll give you 0, which is why the first character is ? so if you type in some character it doesn't have it'll be displayed as ?

And yes, the letters are horrible. I just made this quickly
