Hi,

This question is pretty simple...but like other "simple" questions, it has me mystified.

        Is there a way to put text (pfText or pfString) in/on a billboard?

By doing this, I believe that the text will always be oriented properly for viewing. Is this true?
I guess I could load a textured representation of the string. I have found very little in the way of
examples relating to billboards. How does a texture get mapped onto a billboard? Any help here would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
         Curt
