[PD] letters that move to their correct position to form readable text

[Max]

hi tim,

additionally to what frank said you might want to use a font with  
fixed width, otherwise you need to parse the kerning information  
somehow. with a fixed width you can just count the letter position and  
add the space to the x-position. use [text3d].
