Hi I started processing yesterday.

I'm frustrated. T.T
Please help me.

I want to make : When text typed, each character typed by each other font & color.

I don't Know what to do.
Please give me a hint or answer.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
PFont f1;
PFont f2;
int r;
int g;
int b;

String typing = "";


void setup() {
 size(800,600);
 f1 =createFont("BaseMonoWideBold",24,true);
 f2 =createFont("SansSerif",48,true);
   background(255,255,255);
 fill(0);
}

void draw() {
 int indent = 25;
// Set the font and fill for text
 
 // Display everything
 textFont(f1);
 text("type your message.",indent,90);
 textFont(f2);
 text(typing,indent,150);
}

void keyPressed() {
   typing = typing + key;
    r = int(random(255));
    g = int(random(255));
    b = int(random(255));
fill(r,g,b);
}

void mousePressed(){
   saveFrame("text-####.jpg");
}

It's not that simple. Since you want to change the color for each character, you need to draw them separetly. You will need to deal with text() and textWidth() manually.
