We'd like the package to include a WYSIWYG input editor and software that handles it afterward (gettings its metrics, displaying it, word-wrapping it, etc.). A lot of what goes on in high-level interface programs nowadays is full-blown word processing: it dialog boxes, when displaying large amounts of text (scrollable areas), when asking for paragraphs of input (such as in cells of tables, in forms, etc.). In our case, the text package must include superscripts, subscripts, multiple font families, typefaces, and sizes. If anyone knows of a package like this to license or for purchase, please let me know. I suspect there are a lot of companies who have had to invent this themselves and would dearly love a standard text library (perhaps Motif has such a thing).
