Is there a way to increase the size of text on a Button, gauges in particularly... or to get the numbers to display vertically?

Getting the numbers to display vertically should be able to be accomplished by changing the shape of the button so its width is small and height is high, but with a guage the coloring would still run from left to right making this impractical. The only way I can think to make the text bigger is to use some sort of drawing program to create a bmp with the text you want in the font and size you want, then use that as a picture. I am sure many better button adjustments will be added to CMud over the course of its beta period, but zMud doesn't have full display customization of buttons.

The bmp idea seems a bit impractical when the only thing i really want bigger is numbers... i would have to have at least 7-9 bmp's on the same button at a time for a standard: ####/#### type caption.

Personally, I thought it quite impractical even for static text. I just had to throw it out there as a possible solution. I really am looking forward to CMud where it will become verpossible to do these things. If Zugg doesn't implement it right away I will very likely suggest vertical guages amoung the improvments. I would much rather eat 1 character per line than 1 line at all times.
