Adding a 'native' angle property doesn't turn a bitmap display into a raster display based on postscript/pdf. Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator use postscript/pdf for each and every single glyph. They dont have rotated fields (seen as controls). They even don't have a rotated _postscript_ insertion cursor for 'rotated editing'. But you could use right now LC Builder: If taking an SVG Font (as I do in the SVG-Text widget) you can have more affine transforms than only rotating. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
