Main Features and Hints

The widget displays text (of short length) as a SVG. This uses SVG paths of one of three fonts: font 'Comfortaa' or 'Bitstream VeraMono' or 'Aclonica'.
Also a path with svg instructions (as used in the svg icon widget) is an optional input. A lot of properties for styling and affine transform are available for the display (see dictionary and the sample stack).
The following messages are passed to LC Script so you can use it:
mouseEnter, mouseLeave, mouseUp and mouseRelease.
After installation of the widget and restarting LiveCode find detailed help in the dictionary.
