Text Pencil lets you draw with text.
Note: To use Text Pencil you will need to download and install the latest version of Scriptographer (2.8.050 or above)
I used an earlier version of Text Pencil to create a poster
New features in v1.5:
• Allows the use of non monospaced fonts
• Draw with words
• Perfect spacing (turn it off for less perfect spacing)
• Select the position in the text with a popup list.
Please post any bugs you find in the comments
I like very much your works.
I saw on your site the fantastic tools LETTERING TOOL and DELAUNAY RASTER... do you think to upload the scripts for the Scriptographer users?
THANKS!!!
Hi guys!!!
Does anybody know, is it possible to use Cyrillic typefaces (or any others but Latin) with this script?
Thankssss!!!!
Updated Text Pencil for the latest version of Scriptographer (saving a hell of a lot of code thanks to the new Palette functionality)
Hi, I can't change the font size and tracking because of the oversized-looking 'refresh text' button. Of course there are ways to work around this problem, but I just wanted to you know. Is it possible to change the default font, font size and tracking values by editing the code?
Thanks for the script.
You should download this script again as it seems like you are running an old version.
Make sure you also have the latest Scriptographer version.
Yes, this looks like an issue that was already resolved in the last release of the plugin (2.8.052). Before replacing the script with the new version, I am curious to find out if the latest release of the plugin resolves this issue for you.
Yes, apparently I was using the older version of the script as you've pointed out. I downloaded the new version. Now everything works fine. Thanks a lot.
Hi, I'm based on Mac, working on Illustrator CS5.1, I downloaded the last version of Scriptographer & Text Pencil but it doesn't work.
The palette window is very very small, I can't change any parameters.
And I'm not able to resize it.
And everytime I run the script, I got this error message (sorry it's in French) :
Impossible de convertir Arial Bold en com.scriptographer.ai.FontWeight
at Scriptographer Scripts/Text Pencil.js:63
Thanks for your time.
Hi Styk,
It seems that the font Arial Bold is not installed on your Mac, which causes both problems, the error message and the damaged palette window.
Either try to install the font, or change 'Arial Bold' in line 47 of the script to the name of an already installed font.
Thanks a lot ! I just changed the font name and now it works fine !
