Scripting tools to allow display of text on a prim: XyText 1.5 , XyzzyText, XyyyyzText, XyzzyText-UTF8, ZZText
XyText 1.5 is a variation of XyText allowing up to 10 characters on a prim. All scripts are included.
Also see XyzzyText for a much more efficient alternative for larger displays.
Additionally refer to ZZText and XyzzyText-UTF8 for using International characters in your boards.

Note: For new scripters/builders: Text for this script is displayed in the reverse order by which objects were linked. Breaks in the lines for multiline scripts are possible using the '\n' for newline, but a multiline linked object does not detect this. Theoretically, adding a message which communicates relative axis information (traditionally, z axis) could be used to allow for line breaks.
