Re: [Glgui-dev] Hi, what's up

I will get working on the check box and the slider this afternoon.  What do

whole?  I wrote a font system a whole ago that we could use, I would
probably would have to change a few things but it could be usefull.  The
system has support for bold, italic, color per character and a bunch of
other stuff.
