I'd like to see special symbols rendered in the text flow - e.g. power points icon with a number superimposed. Like "The flug hit you for <hiticon>5</hiticon> pts damage"
Hard in gimp - text layout is not directly available as a method separate from fonts. And fonts cant do color in Gimp. So have to parse text, look for tags, insert icons, do your own word wrap etc. All in Lisp. Yuck.
