Sign

This is an item of class 54.

(Create a knicknack and then fiddle>Modify object to set classNumber to 54.)

This object will dynamically create a string of text based upon the value you enter in the 'text' field !

The field can be a simple string, but can also be prefixed by the following -

#cn	Sets the text to this color. If you want to use the value in colorMap, specify #239
#bn	Sets the background color. If you want to use the colorMap, specify #240
#sn	Sets point size
#fsss	Sets font to use (see below)
#an	Sets antialiasing off(0) or on(1)
#pn	Adds background padding around text
#rn	Rotate text -90 to 90
##	Marks end of options, following is text to display.

Fonts available.

https://altaway.xyz/builders/fonts.txt - do not include '.ttf' when specifying

Notes-

Some fonts simply don't work. These are just a dump from my PC; let me know if you have issues, or want any adding.
An error in your string may cause either a default version, or nothing, to be displayed.
In the latter case, use Fiddle>Modify Object and choose your sign from the left list to adjust.
Rotations > 90 don't seem to work even though they should :(
Different fonts behave differently w.r.t scaling, antialiasing and rotations.
Non-ASCII characters probably won't work.
Don't touch imageURL or imageVersion - On Signs, these are set dynamically at runtime by the server.
Using the generated imageURLs (sign.*.img) on other objects is currently discouraged as they are only generated when a sign is requested, and I can see that there will be a need to purge unused ones..

BUGS:

BUG: background fill isn't working yet.
On clicking “Set” sometimes an old version of the text field is displayed. click another field then click back.
