Yes, scanning the instruments consumes some brain power if you learn to fly IFR. You are trained to scan the instruments in a specific order. Presenting them in sequence - I have never thought about that. I have to give it a try! > > I see (from git) that you are to blame for the liberation fonts in the > data tree.

With OSGText, the font is rendered by OSG and you put text objects into the scenegraph just like any other 3d object. You can attach it to the world, your aircraft or you screen (which might be what you want). The gui text you create in screen.nas is rendered by plib which - IIRC - can only display texture fonts (*.txf?) and is somewhat limited in it's capabilities. It should be able to deal with font sizes but they might look ugly as these are pre-rendered to a specific resolution, just like textures.
