I made a patch that should be able to direct typings into a jit.window and creates a new line on each "enter". I'm sending the text through a jit.matrix to make jit.gl.text3d recognize the multilines; the patch is working correctly with OSX but the problem is that I need to use it on a Windows computer. On windows XP: the matrix creates some unwanted noise, like a grid. Is there a way to eleminate the noise?

Sorry Olger, I would really love to help you out, but I think you need 

to clean up your [p textgroup] patcher before I can make any sense of 

it... I can imagine also, that cleaning it up would reveal the problem

I can't remove this kind of "grid" on the screen.

I think this fixes it. I don't have my XP machine alive at the moment to be certain i implemented this right in your patch, but the problem is that windows renders ascii character 0 as a rectangle. The "fill with spaces" subpatch in the below patch fills up the rest of the line with 32 (ascii for space), instead of 0. It's basically a keying operation. You could probably do something clever with jit.op that does the same thing.

Thanks, pnyboer, it works fine. It was impossible for me to find this alone.

It seems to be fine to fill the whole matrix with spaces before entering the text. Your patch is very useful to insert a new line of text.

Following, a new patch with these modifications.
