I have been experimenting with creating glowing (i.e. neon-lit)
objects, right now doing tubes (extruding 2 disks along a path is
easy) What I would like to do is use some regular PS fonts.
The problem is how would I create a slightly larger copy of the
text, the size and stretch commands will enlarge the font, but what
I really need is an outline:
/\
/ 2\
/ /\ \
/ / 1\ \
\ \ / /
This example would work with the SIZE command (original shape is 1,
outline is 2), but for, say, a letter "A" it would not. Any ideas,
