characters and text in array
Apr 16th, 2010, 4:39pm  
hi,
my question is if i can effect same characters in a text. For example i like to increase/decrease the size or the stroke weight of same characters in a text. If in the text : "Hello world" char 'l' appears 3 times the second time the stroke will be 2 pt. and the third time 3 pt. and the same with char 'o'. What i am thinking now is to make an array of all characters. What i dont know is if it is possible to control characters in the serial line of a text..  :-/
should i use any text libraries?
i am stuck.
any ideas?

I doubt there is an easy solution. Each different font size will have different kerning (or GlyphMetrics), so even if you could set them in the same line it would look horrible.  I expect each character (of different font size) will need to be individually positioned.
