I haven't purchased super text mesh yet, but I want to know if you have plans for support for furigana, or at least the ability to x offset superscript text

Hey!

Through the use of automatically-generated custom events, STM does support furigana, or more generically, ruby text!

Super Text Mesh comes with a simple ruby text helper script included in the examples folder (although maybe I should move this to "Utilities" in the next update...) and I've uploaded the code, too: https://pastebin.com/XGKdPccN

Here's a video of it in action:



I just started learning Japanese myself, so I now know... because of all the varied pronunciations behind the 2000+ regular-use kanji, to type up a word like... "楽しい", you'd have to type... "<e=rt,たの>楽しい "! I bet an automatic dictionary system would be possible someday, but my lessons aren't exactly that far enough along yet...

Here's an example with Japanese text! (Also upgrading the ruby text script a little bit...)

Thats perfect! Thanks
