how to get point-along-a-path from path object about opentype.js HOT 4 CLOSED

opentype.js just gives you the font outlines as they are. You can combine this with other libraries to get the desired effect. Our g.js library has support for this, for example.

Here's an example using g.js:

var path = font.getPath(text, x, y, fontSize);

// The Path object from opentype has the same
// data structure as g.js, but different methods. Change
// its prototype to g.Path so things like path.resampleByAmount work.
path.__proto__ = g.Path.prototype;

path.point(0.5); // This returns the point at position "t", where t is in the range [0.0-1.0]

Hi Frederik,
Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded g.js. Having problems with using it correctly. It seems to use requireJS or AMD specs. As I am still taking baby steps in the realm of AMD, I am unable to comprehend the errors it is throwing at me.

The way, I used it was:

    <script src="scripts/libs/require.js"></script>
    <script src="scripts/libs/jquery-1.11.1.js"></script>
    <script src="scripts/libs/opentype.js"></script>
    <script src="scripts/libs/g.js-master/src/g.js"></script>
    <script src="scripts/app/font_fns.js"></script>

Can I use g.js in a normal (non AMD) mode? Should I write a main.js containing path : {} entries to make this work

Is it possible to send an example of using this in a normal way?
regards,
RV

I've updated the instructions on g.js to install. You can use the files in the dist folder directly, or use Bower or Browserify.

Let me know if that works for you.

It works. Thank you.
