Dear list,
i am trying to get some typesetting in gem on 3d text layers. i use text with alias 0 message, because of performance issues if using a lot of layers. is there a way to get some info on geometric dimensions of a text layer ? i would like to be able to change text "approach" ( leading , baseline, tracking , ligation...) and width of a layer would be very useful for me .
what is possible ? are there knows ways to show poems ? :-)
i work mainly with unicode numbers as a starting point, since i use a lot of langages i tried a lot of things , but couldn't find.
Thanks .
Have a nice day

hello, the text* objects in Gem have a 2nd outlet that output information about the text : bounding box, but also the size of the descender and descender. I think you can use that to compute what you want. See the corresponding Gem help file.
