BTW: The comment was actually meant seriously: "use letters <>AZaz"
I hoped you forgot 09 in <>09AZaz.
Or more correctly: use one or more of (A) lower-than, (B) greater-than,
(C) upper case and (D) lower case letters. (A) and (B) are thought
for arrows.
Forgot to mention -- these are the expected material names:
(A) '<' -> ArrowL.rgb
(B) '>' -> ArrowR.rgb
(C) 'A' .. 'Z' -> LetterA.rgb .. LetterZ.rgb
(D) 'a' .. 'z' -> BlackA.rgb .. BlackZ.rgb
And I'm afraid OBJECT_RUNWAY_SIGN are always squares, and OBJECT_TAXI_SIGN
are one or more squares side by side, depending on the number of letters.

Thank you very much Melchior, that was clear and complete.
Sad enough :-( so I have to give up with this, because it fails with
many necessary details (up, left-up and right-up arrows, numbers, white
on red signs ...).
I will go back using traditional blender obejcts instead; it's more time
consuming of course, but I will have enough freedom to build every
custom taxiway sign I want. I know I will regreat this, I hope someone
will consider developing that old code and make it flexible enough for
covering the most cases we have in almost every airport.
Just another question before going back to Gimp-Blender: do taxyway
signs emit light in the night? I guess an obvious answer would be "yes",
I just need confirmation from people who fly real too.
