trouble exporting to vector image
Feb 9th, 2009, 10:48pm  
it seems that every way i try to go about it, vector outputs are giving me a headache.

svg did the nicest job before but with my particle applet, the animation runs far too slow to still be useful.

pdf works fines enough - I prefer the way svg treats ellipses - but my exported frame has text which has been turned into incomprehensible blocks...

what are other people using to get nice vector graphics including well rendered text?

I discovered the little note on the export PDF page that suggested the use of createfont() instead of loadfont()...and it did work better. Still it's not using the font that I have specified which is both installed on my computer and a copy placed in the data folder just for good measure ala this page

http://www.processing.org/reference/createFont_.html

anything else I might need to know? I tried adding PFont.list(); to my setup to see if the one font I want to use is unavailable or what...but nothing happened. Just in case anyone knows of a particular problem with my font, I chose to use Silkscreen which became popular a while back as an early pixel font...it looks good small and aliased...and it was looking good until I switched over to createfont in order to get it exported...
