Default [Release] - Text Coord Finder

A simple LUA app i created to help myself with positioning text perfectly, maybe you guys could use it too. I will fix bugs if they are reported, but i won't be adding new features or improving it, it does what i want fine, thats all i need. I wasn't intending to realease this, but i might as well, you guys might need it.

Readme:

Code:
Text Coord Finder Coded By Gutya

This was origionally just meant to be for my own use, because i find positioning text a pain in the arse,
but then i thought that other people could benefit from it, so i might as well put it on PSPU, plus i 
havent realeased anything in ages, i'm just showing you i havent died! Stay tuned for a great realease from Imprint ;)

Features:
Support for as many test text strings
Font Support
An easy config file
Displays the coordinates of the text in the corner

Instructions:
Needs LUA Player to run, put your font and image in the same directory with the names font.ttf and image.png
if you would like to use a font then set it in the config file, please note that setting fonts on will make
this not work on windows lua player! So don't set it on unless you plan on using on the PSP. The config file
is pretty much self explanatory, but make sure you read it, all the options must be set properly, or this program
will not work. Use the arrow buttons to move the text around screen, and L and R triggers to select your text.

Enjoy :-D

Gutya.

Don't want to sound ungrateful - nice program, but what would be a really cool addition to this program would be an option to create a box of whatever dimensions you please, and be able to move it around and get coordinates for that.

This is a pretty nifty program! Will come in handy.

It would be nice to have like a cross-mode or whatever besides the text-mode so you can see what the coordinate of a point is that you need.
