I don't know anything about vlw's, you might have to ask John about
that. I can show you how to convert fonts to SVG paths and render them
out if that would help you? Example:

I'm new to processing. On processingjs.org the reference say that they use .vlw fonts for the text method.
I mean if they can load a font arial.vlw, like when we use loadFont arial. there should be a way to convert a ttf font to vlw.
This is what i have done so far www.kohure.com
don't look at the html, i don't really care about the html when i develop to be honest.
the next step tomorrow is to add more text, make them draggable, and change the font.
Add more text and make them draggable, i think i can code it. But use different fonts is another story.

Ah, I don't think VLW's are used in the js version. I will update the
site to reflect that tomorrow.
Your site is looking stylish so far. Was it just Arial you wanted to use? Or was it that whole list of fonts? I can always SVG them for you and send you a little demo. I mean... if you don't care about how they get on the canvas... just that they get there quick, and look good, then I'm your man.

i'm looking to use the maximum fonts possible to the user.
If i can use SVG, i will. It's just that the API reference on processingjs.org only refer to vlw.
I will take a look on how to use SVG.
I have took a look at using glype, but i still don't know how to convert ttf to a glyph table

Well converting svgs to a glyph table is a pain in the ass to be
honest. I did it all manually in InkScape, we should probably come up
with a fast way of doing it. You know.. we would do best to read actual
TTFs within Processing, but it's something that would need proper
attention, I believe Adobe have all the documentation on how to read
font data from binary ttfs, so it's a case of getting a developer to
sit down for a week or so and get it right... or find someone that's
read binary fonts before and will do it quickly.
It would be a very big sell for Processing though, to be able to render ttf so it's worth the effort.

What actually needs to happen with the binary once it's been read?
Is this the kind of thing that might help?

But in the original procesing not the js adaptation. I think we can save the fonts in .vlw I think i need also to take a look at the original processing to look how it manage the font.

OK, I see what you're getting at now Julien. Yeah why don't you take a
look at vlw's and see what you can find. I've done done much with fonts
in Native Processing. Let me know if you think vlw is the way to go
once you've had tyhe chance to test it out.

Yeah that's the first stage, then we would apply path rules to the data
like so:
Microsoft way:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/otff.htm
Adobe(mac) way:
http://developer.apple.com/textfonts/TTRefMan/
One question I have from my experiments is.... is it quicker to write the path data out for each frame, or cache the data to a pixels[] array and write that out each frame?

Hi Al,
I would like to use you glyph method but i still can't get some fonts.
On your site you say "2) Export the character paths from your SVG
software, such as InkScape. "
I have inkscape ( firstt time i'm using it). How do you export the
character paths?
I have converted a ttf to svg: this is the result:

I would like to use you glyph method but i still can't get some fonts.
On your site you say "2) Export the character paths from your SVG
software, such as InkScape. "
I have inkscape ( firstt time i'm using it). How do you export the
character paths?
I have converted a ttf to svg: this is the result:
<font id="MySVGFont" horiz-adv-x="1041" ><font-face

What you do... is type an 'A' then press "CTRL+SHIFT+X" to get the XML
data, select the path for letter A, copy the path data, and paste it as
a String into your glyph table. Now repeat for all the letters you want
to use.
It's long-winded I know. The problem is no editors are going to just let you automatically convert fonts to SVGs for copyright issues, so you have to do it manually. But perhaps we should just write out own TTF reader and kill print shops forever.
I think VLW's refer to "processing" exported fonts, and I have a feeling they could be rasterized ie: very slow to render... :( but don't quote me on that as I'm just guessing.

Thanks for your help, i will take a look at your technique tomorrow.
If i really want to use some unique fonts, even if the technique is long, i will do it.
I'm gonna ask one of my perl coder friends to see if he can do something for me about that.
By the way, i have installed the original processing in java, and saw that we can export the font in vlw.
So i got the font like blah-24.vlw
I tried to load them in my processing js script, but no luck. In the end, it only display the default fonts of firefox.
loaded like this from processingjs.org
PFont fontB = loadFont("blah.vlw");
Have checked that the fonts have the good permissions and are in the correct data folder.
Still no luck...
So i definitely begin to think about the glyph technique so i really appreciate your help on how to build a glyph table.
:)

Hey Julien,
Yeah I had a feeling vlw's were not tackled. I will make you a little tutorial video on creating a glyph table later tonight, that should make things real easy for you. I will create some standards for people to work by when making glyphs, so we can all share out work and create a bank of fonts.
In the mean-time I will be looking into adding EPS, SVG and TTF readers to Processing.js as I get the feeling these are going to be the most useful additions to Processing.js across the board. Anyone that wants to help research/develop these features, that would be awesome.
