Hey man, this is great, thanks.
I came across a problem where the "pixel" each character would be contained in had a glitchy box around it and I'm not sure what I did wrong but It kinda fixes it if I change the texture interpolation on the image of my characters to cubic. You ever experienced this? There's a few artefacts if you zoom in and look for them but it's not really noticeable, luckily... but it would be nice if I could just get rid of them completely.
