I just can't remember. I seem to recall a DOM interface or function in SVG that takes as input a character (i.e., a text string of length one) rendered in a given font-family and returns the path coordinates of the outline of that object. (something like "w".toPath(ariel, 100) --> "0,0 50,100 100,0 150,100 200,0 200,5 150,105, 100,5 50,105 0,5 z" Certainly we can get its bounding box, and certainly there are utilities in Inkscape and Illustrator to do that, but how about in plain old SVG with JavaScript? I would like to make some pseudo-random distortions to a typeface but can't remember the command, if there ever was one.
