Hershey font renderer

This project is a graphics toy that renders text using the Hershey fonts. It's written in almost pure Snap! code, the only thing I needed a javascript helper function for was parsing numbers from strings.

One thing to be aware of is that this project as saved is about 300kb (mostly the raw font data), but if you run it and re-save it it will grow to around 5Mb due to all the parsed drawing info it generates.

Enjoy!

Should you maybe use the transient variables feature to avoid saving all that data?

Thanks, I did not realize that was there.

Now I just need to make the initialization lazy so it doesn't need to process everything on every startup. :slight_smile:
