Hi guys, not sure if this has already been done or even possible. But have not come across it yet on the forum.

Okay the idea would be to rotate font text using lua by degrees. This would be great to have for huds, etc.

I found the text limited making a Sci-fi hud. As we all know text needs to rotate a little to give the illusion of a futuristic heads up display in a helmet or vehicle. It can be done with fonts (images), but to get it perfect you would want to be able to just change the text degrees by lua.

It would also be nice to use transform: Move, Scale, Rotate, Skew, etc. - but I will settle for rotation for now

We also need more flexibility in fonts and font sizes, so far we have 8 options, with 1 being default, 2 to 5 being scaled from small to large, all in the same bold font,then we have 6 being a the same font in a large size but thinner, not so bold, and 7 being another large font. I'l have to get a screen grab of all the fonts side by side as an example tonight when i get home.

Hi Belidos, any luck on the screenshots?
