Feature suggestion - output outlines

[phoddie]

This idea may be stretching the scope of fontbm a bit much, but...

...we sometimes render a few characters of a font using an outline renderer. This is great for animated text effects with scaling and rotating text. We aren't trying to render TrueType fonts in general.

Would it make sense for fontbm to have an option to output the selected glyphs in a font as FreeType/TrueType outlines? We have the ability to render FreeType outlines now in the Moddable SDK, so either format could work.

Hi! Somewhere in my To-dos I have a record about the outlines =)
Unfortunately, nowadays, I am full-time busy at my main job, so not sure when it can be done.

That's great to hear. At least the feature is not wildly out of scope!

It is good to be busy.

If you do have a chance to work on that, I'd be happy to assist as an earlier tester / user.
