the [text3d]... objects expect a "string" message with pdstrings (according to moocows stuff). your string-patch adds a special message "string" for your strings. i think that is where the problem comes in: A_GIMME != A_STRING
not having followed this thread too closely, i feel somewhat loathe to enter it now; i just wanted to explicitly renounce any and all claims to the selector "string" for pdstring-style lists of floats in favor of Martin's string atoms. nothing i've done with (pdstring+gem) has gotten beyond the sandbox stage, so changing selectors (e.g. to "asciilist", "pdstring", whatever) for list-of-floats messages would suffice i think. [string2any] itself doesn't care about selectors, and [any2string] currently just spits out a "list", so i'm pretty flexible...
