+An engine, that renders text on openGLTextures, and displays them on the screen.
+
+== usage ==
+  * simple:
+{{{
+#!cpp
+#include "text.h"
+...
+    // create a new Text.
+    Text* newText = new Text("fontfile.ttf", 16);
+    // set some color (red, green, blue [0-1])
+    newText->setColor(1, 0, 0);
+    // set some blending, and everything will shine through.
+    newText->setBlending(.8);
+    // set another alignment
+    newText->setAlignment(TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT);
+    // and display some text
+    newText->setText("wow... so easy??");
+...
+}}}
+  * advanced: 
+   * Text implements Element2D from [wiki:Render2D Render2D]
+   * you can reload fonts using 
+{{{
+#!cpp
+   newText->setFont(const char* fontFile, unsigned int fontSize);
+}}}
+   * if you like to be quick, and handle the char-array externally (the text wont delete the array, and will segfault, if the char-array is deleted) use something like: (notice the true)
+{{{
+#!cpp
+   char* textPointerHandledExternally = "blabla";
+   newText->setText(textPointerHandledExternally, true);
+}}}
+   * Hiding text:
+{{{
+#!cpp
+   newText->setVisibility(false);
+}}}
+    (this is Element2D-functionality)
