CapnScurvy used that technique in his OTC (Optical Targeting Correction) mod... it works fine, until you run into longer names. He also altered the RecMan via the menu_1024_768.ini file to add a "Length" text field above the name. It will take you awhile for your endeavor. We are already including a "Length" designation in FotRSU for the next release, but it is not using this method, and therefore does not show on the NavMap.
