| Processing.js Behavior | Font support for the Canvas element varies across browsers. FireFox currently has the best support, but still uses a pre-defined set of fonts. (Documentation to follow soon.) Good alternatives to the browser's Canvas-font functions are available: such as the Glyph method. See also: Canvas Text, BurntToys Bauhaus.
Please use the following demos to learn how fonts can be rendered in Firefox with Processing.js: Letters, Words, width() |
