Ah Kadir, you are working on the Ultimate font loader for Vpython!<br>
Load any and all fonts into a numpy array?<br>
<br>
I used points object to store ASCII set because it is very fast when
updating info.<br>
Instead of drawing each font, it simply changes the color at the
indexed place within an existing object.<br>
No repositioning or creating objects required!<br>
So it is fast!<br>
However I had to (laboriously) draw this with a Font/Icon editor - Took
me all afternoon!<br>
It seems ttfquery might make things a lot easier.<br>
Thanks.<br>

<div>I have been working on this for a while also. There are some
solutions here and there but needs to be put together.<br>
<br>
If you install the package ttfquery, then you can easily get font
outline (contour) data for any font installed on your system, and use
it for any (or let's ay most of the) character.<br>
<br>
I am trying to get 3D Text working for Vpython, for any font as above.
For that, to be able to fill in the contours, we need a good
triangulation method working in python. Again there are many, but I
could not get any single one working. The so called best one comes from
the OpenGLContext, but I could not get it going. I use "Triangle",
aside, and its output is OK (after writing input-output interface
programs), but then I could not "link" it to Vpython since it is an
exe. I could not get the output array directly into my script without
doing write/read to/from file.<br>
<br>
Once inside the contours is painted, then 3D is easy.<br>
<br>
Attached is a simple sample for drawing the contours with ttfquery.<br>

Here is a short program that has the Complete ASCII character set (32
to 126)<br>
I have implemented it with a single Points object.<br>
<br>
Multi-colored<br>
Variable size<br>
Roughly based on Fixedsys font.<br>
