Dynamic text support?

[fallenartist]

Amazing project 👍 I was wondering if it could support dynamically generated text? In theory, with path code for all characters in the four needed sizes in memory, a dynamic SVG could be assembled on the fly and HTML element updated. Have you tried that and can I add it as a feature request?

Cheers! In theory this is of course possible. You'd need to have a source for interpolatable outlines. A UFO? Specially prepared TTF?, read the data, construct the glyphs, interpolate and draw. That's quite some work for javascript if it has to happen in the client.

• Andrew Johnson wrote about this and has a working prototype, though I think it is a single glyph.
• If all the work can happen on the server it could use MutatorMath. PhotoLettering uses it.
• If it can happen in a nice OSX app you could use Superpolator.

Will it ever be a feature of this specific project? Probably not.
