Hello!

Is there a way to insert an image into text (more specifically into TextWindow)?
I have a tutorial messages in my game that simply use the Display command. It works well, but I would like to insert an image of a keyboard button into it (rather than use a letter).

I don't want to use a custom GUI for the tutorial messages, because the amount of text changes a lot in them. Display and the TextWindow works well adjusting to the right size. I tried playing around with the Dynamicsprite, but couldn't create the sprite on top of the TextWindow.

So is this possible at all, without using custom GUIs for the messages? Thanks!
