Pen "Text" block

Hello,
Is it possible to add a block like this:
stamp text [] :: pen
or like this:
print [] :: #009468
plus this block:
set font to [Helvetica v] :: pen
Please support so we don't have to use pen based text engines.

The duplicate is closed though, so I think this one is fine.

I think the duplicate was closed because it was a duplicate.

All of this talk about duplicates is useless… if you have a duplicate topic then link it to the topic in question instead of complaining about people making them. Users new to the forums do not understand the conduct.

I actually think this is a pretty good idea. Generating text yourself isn't terribly mind-boggling but is indeed time consuming- and it's no fun making an engine for text over and over again. For new programmers, I could see this being a life saver. But I also question the application here in terms of how the block works.
Some more detail would be nice.

I know, I can't find it though.

Awesome work finding the link! It does look like this is a duplicate topic so I'll close it to keep the conversation all in one place.

Please use the existing topic in the link above.
