Hi Sebastian,<br>
<br>
For transforming and animating fonts you can get the original font points with freetype and draw them with cairo. That will give you more control of the font so that you can transform smoothly in 3d if you want and also be able to still output to .pdf or .svg.<br>
<br>
The cairo3d_text.c, cairo3d_text.h and cairo3d_textUI.c in<br>

<br>
Some test code that might give you some font drawing ideas.<br>
