Ship names

While working on some custom cargo sections [will post for dwl later, when I'm done with them] I came up with an idea for placing symbols and ship names on their hull.

It's a quicky, and it's an obvious way to place txt string on your ship.

Quick and easy, but it looks more like it was burnt in by beam-fire than written originally

.

It'd benefit greatly from a more blocky font.

It definitely needs a blockier font, and why is the name upside down?

The dev forms actually have quite a few text packs on it

Back in the Beta phase, some people including myself made several font packs that .gifs or .pngs of a font. As soon as I rename my own to fit with the current standard, I'll upload them.

It's also not that hard to do. Really, just find a free Bitmap font you like, type some stuff, save it as a gif.

Some people here don't even know how to properly save an image, not to mention finding and installing a font.
