Has anyone considered designing a special font function that could 
extract the vector information from TTF type fonts, then employ splines 
to either warp them along a path or even wrap them around objects? Seems 
a waste to me to have a perfectly good vector based graphic, but no way 
to bend it to fit objects. Existing methods are limited and imperfect 
imho.

Anyway, I certainly hope someone might a) find the idea interesting and 
b) have a clue how to do it. Wish I did...

void main () {

    call functional_code()
  else
    call crash_windows();
}
