Finding it hard as a newbie to understand documentation
Context
After snapping the path to a grid I wish to generate a new font from the new paths formed. Could the process be explained conceptually? I just need some more information. My current use case takes in a text input and then the text snaps to a grid and changes form. Now I wish to download this new path of letters (whichever are on the canvas) as characters.
Your Environment
- Version used:
- Font used: Source Code Pro
- Browser Name and version: Chrome
I don't quite get what you want.
You have different "layers" conceptionally speaking.
You have the font (which is a set of drawing instructions for all letters there are) You have text You can use the font with text to create paths... (These you optinally can snap to a grid..) And you use the paths to draw on a canvas.
If you want to create a new Font, you would change the letters, but you don't use text input, and you can't snap onto a grid depending on the letter positions.
PS: The snapping to grid demo opentype.js is IMO just some silly, simple demonstration for something you need the path information of letters and you could never do with canvas.drawText(). I don't think it's a sensible process by itself.
