How to make text into a rigid body?

Hello all,
I have been conducting a few experiments with the fisica and geomerative libraries to try and create rigid bodies that are infact made up of single characters of text. I first started by using plain jpegs, which if course just built a bounding box around the entire image, and then looked into SVG's but the examples given for SVG usage in fisica+geomerative seem to be very buggy and inconsistent, with the code executing fine, but no images appeared on the canvas and the error
I have tried searching around the forums, and openprocessing.org trying to gain an idea on how to achieve such a thing but to no avail.
If anyone would have any previous attempted or advice to get me started. Cheers.

Copy code
- Found invalid polygon,
sides are too close to parallel.
Didn't add unusable polygon. Dumping vertices:
float xv[] = {-0.039218f,-0.039218f,-0.039218f,};
float yv[] = {0.412512f,0.111878f,0.412512f,};
Found invalid polygon,
sides are too close to parallel.
continually returned.
As a small example I am basically trying to make a bounding box go around the contour of a character. Such as "A". So when added to a physics engine and say fall on it's side the diagonal of the A character would be touching the ground, and not simply appear to have been rotated 90 degrees.
