Hi everyone, I'm new with processing, just getting started. I love this project, it's fantastic!

I'm currently working on a small blog like project (Eclipse+processing). It's still in it's infancy much of the design is finished, and I know how to implement most of it at least in principle, though I haven't done much of the actual coding yet.

I would like to use Processing as my front end but there is one tricky part in this, I need to print out text and display a custom widget at a certain location within the text. Think along the lines of making every fullstop a clickable button.

Can anyone think of a decently noninsane way (in Java or Processing) to do this? I don't really fancy getting my hands dirty on the innards of the font drawing.
I'm thinking something like write the text to that position get a sort of text_cursor.current_position(), and place my widget relative to that...

cheers,
Frank.
