That's pretty much what I was looking for.  Also, more control of where the
text shows up; right/left-justify, center in a given area, etc.

Also a text box would be nice that has word wrap and a scrollbar, but that
would be a widget and seperate from the flexible font itself.

Is anyone having problems with the mailing list or archive?  It all seems
to work fine for me.  Also, has anyone had trouble getting a cvs client set
up?  We should start to see some new code soon, right?

--registry

What does everyone think of having a registry for creating and handling UI
frames, widgets and other objects?  That would take the responsibility of
creation and deletion away from the app and into the UI code itself.

What do you think would be a good way to do it? return a static pointer?
That would be the safest way, but would make setting it up manually pretty
annoying (having to call registry.get() so many times).

--file format

Any more thoughts on this?  Do we want to be able to import resources from
the VC editor, or just have our own?
