Alternate font rendering is useful when rendering text to novel graphics outputs where modern font rendering is not available or where bespoke text positioning is required. Bitmap and vector fonts allow for custom layout and rendering using pixel coordinates and line drawing. Formatted text is created as a data.frame of pixel coordinates (for bitmap fonts) or stroke coordinates (for vector fonts). All text can be easily previewed as a matrix or raster image. A selection of fonts is included with this package.
