%! cosic-text.ps % % This code is intended to produce the cosic logo with whitespace % surrounding the text, which can be overlayed onto any given % background. % % PROBLEMS % - Currently a line width of 25 is required when the font (or, at least % Lato Black) is scaled to 48pt. This is necessary in order to ensure % there are no 'holes' in the outline mask. (Choose a smaller linewidth % and you will see the effect). This is a problem because it is very % likely that a slightly smaller mask radius is desired than that % provided by the linewidth of 25. % % A solution was attempted by creating the outline at a smaller point % size (see /outline) but this will take some tweaking to create an % outline with sufficiently similar metrics. % % Another solution might be to simply draw circles around the letters, % rather than using their outlines. Using a highly geometric font could % help in this respect. %/headerfont /Lato-Black-subset findfont 48 scalefont def /headerfont /UniversElse-Regular findfont 48 scalefont def /outline /Lato-Black-subset findfont 36 scalefont def 100 100 moveto headerfont setfont %1.0 setgray % we need to outline the font in white 0.8 setgray % but for testing purposes, lets use a gray 25 setlinewidth (cosic) false charpath stroke 100 100 moveto headerfont setfont 0.0 setgray (cosic) show
