i liked the source code of this one, with the dna string (btw: is it from a human chromosome) and the blah() method 
the only problem i see with the "raw" font format is that it's monospaced, nice for terminal-like effects, but somehow frustrating...
and generating a custom font with the "vlw" system is not a picnic too...
but i heard a new format called "bdf" is on its way to be implemented in processing and as far as i understand, it's related to adobe, and therefore it should be closer to perfection!
meanwhile, let's continue hacking the current font capabilities of processing, as in:

hehe. the dna string is just a random mix of a, c, t and g. had someone do a dna string generator as an exercise for searching and sorting.
re: raw and vlw stuff, how true.
re: bdf, better document format?

Ok, this code is highly redundant with all the new font things going on in P5, but:

actually i found glen's code useful and not so redundant!
btw, good luck for implementing real word-wrapping... i've done it once (see the link in my previous post), and it was a kind of headache...

Heh, yeah - I got halfway into doing it and decided that for code soon to be superceded, it wasn't worth the heartache. (It's those damn hyphens!!)

could anyone post which one of those font extensions is the fastest until now? we are using this ftext thing but it seems slower than the original processing font stuff (but nicer)...
thanks in advance,
marcus
