very strange indeed ...!
here is the code for the modfied example - please take a look at REAS's example in 'Examples' > 'Typography' > 'Words'... since this is the original version!
Code:
// Words
// by REAS <http://www.groupc.net>
// The text() function is used for writing words to the screen.
// Created 15 January 2003
size(200, 200);
background(0);
stroke(153, 153, 0);
//
//
//
// THIS IS THE LINE THAT I'VE ADDED, WHICH MAKES THE LETTERS FUNNY!
imageMode(CENTER_RADIUS);
//
//
//
// Load the font. Fonts are located within the
// main Proce55ing directory/folder and they
// must be placed within the data directory
// of your sketch for them to load
BFont fontA = loadFont("Meta-Bold.vlw.gz");
// Set the font and its size (in units of pixels)
setFont(fontA, 44);
// Set the hint() method to SMOOTH_IMAGES
// for better edges on the type
hint(SMOOTH_IMAGES);
int y = 15; // Horizontal position of the type
int l = 35; // Leading (spaces between lines)
line(y, 60, width, 60);
text("Research", y, 60);
line(y, 60+l, width, 60+l);
text("Modern", y, 95);
line(y, 60+l*2, width, 60+l*2);
text("Typography", y, 130);
fill(204, 204, 0);
setFont(fontA, 28);
text("in", 152, 50);

p5 fonts were done using a proprietary software developed during the vlw days, which is still used by acg, and i think will still be used by plw. the fonts are actually raw images where each font is a raw image with characters inside.

here`s an nice font-feature as well, for creative use!
(found while I was working on http://www.xs4all.nl/~elout/proce55ing/openSrc01/index.html )
the text-alphachannels can hit hard!
-drawing white text on a white screen-
Code:
// - white on white - 10 sept 2003
// elout <http://www.xs4all.nl/~elout/>
BFont my_font;
void setup()
{
size(600,300);
noBackground();
// make sure the OCR-B.vlw.gz font is in your data folder
my_font = loadFont("OCR-B.vlw.gz");
}
void loop()
{
setFont(my_font, random(140));
text("0I",random(width),random(height));
setFont(my_font, 200);
text("0I",180+random(14),180+random(14));
}
