Has anyone tried to create 3D fonts? It sounds like a ton of work but might look cool if done correctly.

You could also do really cool text highlights by working with light sources and shader effects

Another feature I'm looking for is smooth scrolling when you hit enter. I've had debates before where they claim it's not possible, that the text must jump one line. But I think it's possible, by shifting the frame buffer up.

If you render your text like a polygon, you get full 3d animations for free.
