I have a whole series of tutorials on realtime text available on my website, along with some demos that are not yet readily available, but are hidden back in my Demos folder. I'll be releasing the demos soon, but they're only accessible by typing in direct address right now. If I remember, I'll post a few links here when I get home. My favorite is a network login setup I made for braveheart on blenderartists.org. It actually logs the text the user types in and displays it in bitmap text, then stores the value to make it available for sending login information to a server.

Bitmap text is just not suitable for some applications. I really hope that one day the game engine supports real vectorised text.

There is even a converter so you can use your favorite font. http://www.blendenzo.com/tutFTBlender.html You can change the text dynamically, and you don't have to deal with every single letter.

I wonder if there will ever be a real dynamic text feature in Blenders game-engine, with an easy string definement. This way it would be possible to change the content of your dynamic text quickly in real time, instead of messing arround with UV-textures for every single letter :) nice tutorial!
