Hi,
is it possible in Cocoa (/ Quartz) to vectorise text, so that if text is
typed in, you can end up with a set of NSBezierPaths? I'm deliberating
over the design of a freeware vector drawing app which allows (for
instance) gradients on text, text on a path etc. and, although it would
make later changing the font of some text a pain, it seems the logical
way to do this in Cocoa is to make everything an NSBezierPath. Or maybe
I'm missing something obvious here and you can already do this sort of
thing while keeping the object as editable text?
Any feeders much appreciated,
Cheers,
Ken
