EDIT: So the textarea automatically makes newlines but the pic doesn't...
Known bug:
Small update: The UI now does line breaks correctly in Chrome and Safari. No other browsers support it yet.
But I thought you said it worked in Fx6, right? Works perfectly in Chrome and Safari.

By the way, another small update: An icon was added ;D

Before, it wasn't automatically making newlines in the text area but now it is.
The display part isn't doing that, tho.

Idk how to explain it well..

The text area
automatically
makes newlines
to fit the words
without wrapping
them (like this)

But the picture
does not wrap, i
t just causes br
eaks in the midd
le of the word l
ike this.

Oh, that's what I meant. In Chrome and Safari text shows up like the second block there (exactly as it would appear in the image). But all other browsers refuse to break in the middle of a word :P

Is there a way to have the browser treat it as individual chars, instead of words?
Maybe after every char (for the textarea) use a different font, 1 "pixel" narrower and have some special space char (the 1 pix between the tokens) separate into not-words?

There's no element for that, and I'm too lazy to script it all out. Sorry :/

By the way, I just got the most awesome shortened URL ever for one of these images: http://is.gd/WAR2Y0.png

Homer is a cool little toy, but is it useful?

Yes. Yes it is.

Bug report: When there's a character in the last two columns, in the pic, there will be an extra newline added...picture explanation:
Here's what I enter in Homer:
Saying stuff yay
This is text!!!
W00t


As you see, no extra newlines.
Here's the picture:

Extra newlines after "Saying stuff yay" and "This is text!!!" because there are characters in the last two columns of the pic.

The extra newline after "Saying stuff yay" is correct (since that's the way the calculator handles a full line). The one after "This is text!!!" is a bug, and it has been fixed :)

And another update: awesome font now works in Internet Exploader :w00t:

EDIT: And fixed some proportions.

It basically means that you can only use text - no graphics.
