[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Bitmaps in text fields?

dmittman@beowulf.JPL.NASA.GOV (David Mittman) (11/17/90)

Here is an interesting problem for the HyperCard development community:

Background: TeachText can include pictures in text files through some
process of which I am not familiar. It would be nice to be able to 
do the same with HyperCard text fields.

Possibility 1: The same process by which TeachText displays pictures
can be used in HyperCard. I imagine that this would be so if TextEdit
supports the feature.

Possibility 2: With the new ability of HyperCard 2.0 to support styled
text, we can create a font that has little pictures as characters and
include them in the text field. Aren't fonts limited to 127 points?

Please let me know if you have any ideas as to how this capability would
be added, or if you have already done so in some XCMD or somesuch.
