I fell in love with it when I used the PHP interface. Once again matts++ for working on da sexy bomb shit. (gnat-- for failure to maintain hipness in the face of aging)

  Hey I *like* the TeX fonts!
  
  Seriously though, I got it working. It was much easier than I thought it would be. I suspect it would be nice to extend it so I could setup some sort of bounding box object, and allow the user to just print into that and have the wrapping sorted. But that's for another day.
