[PD] Displaying text

Fri Feb 1 17:50:18 CET 2019

Thank you everyone, all those solutions are really promising. I hadn't
tried the features of canvas, so I will try that first; I'm really glad to
learn about Inscore, which I'd not heard of before and which seems really
interesting for a lot of my projects; the node.js also offers some
appreciable advantages for this particular project, so I will check that
out too.

Many thanks, everyone. Much appreciated!
