Getting the glyph of a character
Jul 23rd, 2005, 1:05pm  
Is there anyway to retrieve the GlyphVector of a letter like in Java2D?

Anything like createGlyphVector() or getOutline()?

Thx

I'm starting to do a library that will allow you to do this.

The problem is that Processing doesn't support Polygons with holes (which is the case of many letters) it would be possible to have the outline but not the filling of it, unless you write your own filling function.  But I'm working on that to.

I'll let you know when it's ready.
