If by 'dotted font' you mean something like this: http://www.fontspace.com/honey-and-death/dotline
Then I would render each font in a small, low resolution bitmap (say, 10x10) and then use that bitmap to find the centres around which to draw circles. So if you have a bit set at (5,5) in the low res bitmap, and you want to render it in a 100x100 size, just draw a circle around (50,50). Repeat for any other bits that are set.

Any clever ideas that would not involve loading the font into a font editor and turing it into a dotted font? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com<mailto:Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com>) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
