(Get the code!)
See this attached image for what I want the text to do. It will literally look like this (as shown in the 3D board image)---with bare copper all around, but the text itself will be made up of different things:
1. Bare PCB with no copper, but copper all around each character.
2. Solder mask, with copper all around each character.
3. Silkscreen with underlying solder mask, with copper all around each character.
These would be fantastic text & layer additions and would make heat-sink PCBs much more possible and practical in KiCad. Frequently, it is helpful to expose parts of the board's copper to dissipate heat better, but the area still might be needed for helpful text or other silkscreen, so that's what I'm trying to get.
Don't forget though: this should apply to graphic lines and things too, not just text.
