Happy Birthday Processing.js!

Happy Birthday Processing.js

Today we are celebrating the fact that Processing.js has made it all the way around the sun! As you may have guessed from the image above (or from RSS feeds), Processing.js now ships with TTF support. Rather than read binary files in Javascript, Processing.js loads True Type Fonts that have been converted to Batik SVGs.

This means you can use your favorite fonts in your Processing.js apps, games & visualizations using the standard loadFont( “fontName” ) and text( “Hello world!”, x, y) methods. There are a couple of bugs to iron out in Opera and a few features yet to be added here & there; but we thought you would want to open your present early. If you can’t wait to get cracking with True Type in Processing.js; click here.

Enjoy!

    It looks like this blog is using an LGPL icon from the KDE kblogger app and I can’t see any credit reference to the license on the site but I might be wrong :p

    Here is the original KDE icon:

    Hi Patcito, the credit references can be found in the community pages: http://processingjs.org/community/credits. Good to see people keeping an eye out for such things.

    Fixed the menu in IE Dave. The menu was working in IE everywhere but the blog, forgot to copy the conditional statements over to the blog template. Thanks for pointing that one out!
