It would be a nice addition to the community since it seems a lot of people print their characters out.

Oh cool, thanks, looks like reasonable options!
I didn't know I had access to those files.

As for the printouts... I don't like to digitalize pen and paper too much during play. reading in a book and having your NPCs as printouts at hand just feels a lot different and usually even works better and faster. That's what I normally use HL for...
Also you can always scare the shit out of your players when you slam that huge folder with all your printed campaign info on the table at the beginning of the session... usually accompanied with an evil grin...
