    Hi BSG, I personally don't understand your question. Are you talking about extracting letters and a number from stuff that's been put into a Display Text behavior?

    Sorry I didn't make it clear. For custom fonts etc Im unsure how to access the letters and numbers in the font file.

    OK, understood now; unfortunately you can't use custom fonts in GS as fonts; only those listed in the Display Text behavior.

    If you want to show some text with a font not in the list, it's best to type into something like Photoshop, then make a graphic of it then bring that in as an actor's image. Hope that helps you.

    Yes I know that you cannot use custom fonts but your second point answers my question perfectly :D Now to find some software alternatives to photoshop...

    Gimp(Photoshop Alternative) Works Pretty nice for this. Or inkscape(illustrator alternative)

    Cheers tried to use gimp a while ago but never really liked it but for this kind of thing I think its probably the most appropriate option for me :)
