Is the following what you are trying to achieve:?
appletviewer http://www.glyphic.com/transform/applet/7wiggly.html
(Make sure you are running this with a 1.2 or later appletviewer.)
>I can't get the setGlyphPosition() method to do anything yet.
Frankly, I couldn't get GlyphVector to do much of anything more than layout
simple lines of text. For things like that in the applet above I had to do
my own positioning and drawing (and believe me, it took a lot of work to
make it look right...). I really tried to use GlyphVector, even for just
changing the individual transforms, but still couldn't get it to work well,
if at all.
If you can dispense with GlyphVector, you'll be much happier....
