  • Desire to convert text to 3D meshes for Geotoy project and Geoscript language.
  • Pipeline overview: text to SVG paths, SVG paths to triangles, triangles to 3D extrusion.
  • Uses svg-text-to-path library for text to SVG conversion with Google Fonts API.
  • Backend service created for secure and minimal text-to-path conversion.
  • Lyon Rust libraries used for SVG path parsing and tessellation into triangles.
  • Extrusion process converts 2D triangles into 3D meshes, ensuring manifold output.
  • Integration into Geoscript as a built-in function with fast on-demand performance.
  • Supports arbitrary fonts and non-English scripts with robust results.
