where to find ".vlw" font files
Sep 28th, 2006, 11:42pm  
The Typography examples that come installed with Processing 0115
include the font CourierNew36.vlw.

I have seen various other Processing examples online
that refer to lots of different fonts, but I can't figure out
where to find and download the corresponding ".vlw" files.

Is there somewhere on Processing.org or somewhere else
that has a big collection of fonts (in .vlw format) ??

thanks!

hi djones.

You don't have to download any .vlw files, but will have to make them yourself out of any font which is installed in your system.

The process is simple: In the processing IDE,

- go to Tools / Create Font
- pick a font and a size and accept.

If you click then Sketch / Show sketch folder you'll be able to see the font in the data folder. Now you can use it in your processing sketch with loadFont().
