Russ, what did you do to that poor little Acme?! ☺
Did you take the less daunting route using
- a combined font file with shapes for normal, italic, bold, etc. and
- a filter to offset runes into "planes" for each font shape?
Yes, that's what I did. Completely awful - the text being displayed isn't usable as text. You can tell because when I double-click on the modified text acme doesn't know where the word boundaries are and ends up highlighting across punctuation that it normally wouldn't.
I'd like to do something better at some point, but it's unclear exactly how.
Best,
Russ
