Hi, I'm trying to make a circular text sketch but I've noticed that after rotation the letters are at slightly the wrong angle and position, making it look a bit messy. The sketch showing this is below. Hold down capital 'I' until the trail travels full circle then compare it to the inner ring, which is comprised of just rectangles that have undergone an identical rotation. The outer ring of 'I's jitters about a little.
Any help would be much appreciated!

//Source
char[] letters;
PFont font;
float ifontSize=80;

void setup()
{
 size(800, 800);
 noStroke();
 smooth();
 background(0);
 rectMode(CENTER);

 font = createFont("Arial", ifontSize);
 textFont(font);
 textAlign(CENTER,BASELINE);
 
 letters=new char[0];
}

void draw(){
 background(0);
 for(int i=0;i<letters.length;i++){
   pushMatrix();
   translate(width/2,height/2);
   rotate(-0.01*PI*(letters.length-i)+0.05);
   text(letters[i],0,height/2-50);
   rect(0,height/2-150,5,50);
   popMatrix();
 }
}
 
void keyPressed(){
 if(key>='A' && key<='z'){
   letters=append(letters,key);
 }
}

Ah that makes sense. How can I get vector-based letters then?

I'll have a look into those. Cheers!
