three-text is a 3D font rendering and text layout library for #threejs - available now on github and npm github.com/countertype/...

Hey! Your threejs text renderer looks promising, does it produces meshes, shapes, or both?

hi! it produces mesh (three.buffergeometry) only; it uses its own shape representation during tessellation rather than three.shape, I hope this works for you

Thanks, I need both: - as meshes to display flat glyphs - as shapes when extruding letters (see image) because threejs ExtrudeGeometry can only be applied on shapes. The issue I'm having with my own implementation is that some glyphs are badly triangulated, so alternatives are welcomed.

the native extrusion effect would be best, but your could work as well. Do you take care of fixing bad glyphs paths? I struggle with some letters that get badly triangulated, see picture
