Notes
tip
When using this function purely for the benefit of affecting the TextDraw box, multiply 'Y' by 0.135 to convert to TextDrawTextSize-like measurements.
Hint: it is easier and extremely precise to use LD_SPAC:white sprite for box-only textdraws, TextDrawTextSize will have regular offsets.
tip
- If you want to change the letter size of a textdraw that is already shown, you don't have to recreate it. Simply use TextDrawShowForPlayer/TextDrawShowForAll after modifying the textdraw and the change will be visible.
- Fonts appear to look the best with an X to Y ratio of 1 to 4 (e.g. if x is 0.5 then y should be 2).
