RaGR: Umm, I don't think anything like this has been done before. I've thought about making a 3D font (static models only, though) but never got around to it. You might search through the code archives here one more time, just to be sure. nothing like this already exists. I think it would be nice if you saved others the same hassle and made your text building stuff available for others. But that's up to you.
