Hey Fellows,
Everything looks great and works fine on a mac machine.
my aim is to build a random type generator tool, which is able to save a vectorfile.
I already checked the forums for many sollutions, but processing text is allways different with every library I found.
writing vector data makes it not easier.
The Letters of a word shall change randomly, while their shape has to be centered between the lines(rects).
To maintain the centering I had to modify every font that i used by hand and create a VLW font.
A lot of work and I believe that could be made easier.

As i tried it on a win 7 64bit, i get an error. ( use createFont instead of loadFont)
- Using createFont wreks the allignment (centering),
- Rendering with PGraphics gives the Same mistake.
- Using ProSVG doesnt Work also (Nullpointer)
I would really apricciate your help to make that running on a Win and newer Mac Systems.
EDIT:
Actually it is only running on a mac PowerPC g5 10.5.8 (not Intel)
exporting as an Application and execution leads to a grey display, while nothing happens.
