perhaps too large for a summer's work. at a lower level, there are a number of drawing issues that really should be addressed. for example, the current draw model has stringwidth() but not stringheight(). the font is assumed to have a uniform height. this is a fine assumption for ascii, but breaks down for even latin1, e.g. Â. either the A needs to be unreasonablly cramped to fit the hat, or every line (regardless of height) needs too much inter-line spacing. a better solution would be to lower the baseline as necessary to fit the line. - erik
