PDraw is slow, but it's the only way to do effects on text right now.
I love being able to rotate text.

Syndesis is in beta test with a Pro Draw module for InterFont.  This
will let you import text created in InterFont as Pro Draw clips.
Since you create the InterFonts yourself (from Amiga bitmap fonts,
or anything else you want), you can make them as "hi-res" as
you want. We are looking for beta testers, so if you can devote
some time, give me a call.  Syndesis is at 508-657-5585.
