That looks like a promising method. That was what I wanted to do from the
beginning but I don't have the programming skill. Completely automating the
process would be difficult for the reasons you guys have already mentioned but
being able to extract the spline points from a .ttf file would be extremely
useful. POV-Ray can already read the data so I wonder if it would be possible to
export it easily.
I also considered using Jr's idea of using an image_map and that would allow
easier fine-tuning.
It would be great if software existed that allowed one to draw curves over a
background picture and export the data. This is close

but it appears to use a different type of curve. It would still be helpful if it
could export the control points to a .txt file to save having to type them.
Kind regards,
