i tried to change my number plate just now, and, as has happened before, i can't get more than a few letters! i noticed that if you keep the colour the same, you can do a bit more, but i wanna put "23 O. Halls" as my number plate, but can only get "23 O". can anyone help please?

attached is an example of what i mean.

Different colours take more space in the numberplace for some reason.

Use the default colour.

afaik you can only have up to 8 characters on your number plate.

Within LFS every change is being performed by a two character code i.e. '^1' for red. So every change of colour reduces the number of availlable characters by 2.

(just like in the host names, but there you have 31(?) characters)

0 - Black
1 - Red
2 - Light green
3 - Yellow
4 - Blue
5 - Purple
6 - Light blue
7 - White
8 - Dark green (default)
