on scripts

[don]

Sorry, my PC was down for several days.

Better print capabilities with control over font size...unless Ive overlooked this... not to mention implementing your own fonts if you choose and font color...

I actually submitted code to Chris that allowed the user to select fonts via scripts, with plans to add color picking, size, line justification (left, center, right) and other things, but he rejected it saying he did not want to turn Celestia into a page layout program.

Maybe resubmit it without the formatting and just the font color and size...I think it may have been too much at once...though nice to have...

The only code I submitted was user-defined font files. He didn't want to do that either, because then users could define their own fonts and forget to make them available for their shared scripts. I suggested using a default font if the script could not find the requested file, but he declined.

We went back and forth for a couple of days, but he finally put his foot down and said "NO". That he would come up with HIS plan for text display and then someone could develop it from that. After all, it IS his program.
