## com.vividsolutions.jts.awt
Class FontGlyphReader

    java.lang.Object
      com.vividsolutions.jts.awt.FontGlyphReader

public class FontGlyphReader
extends java.lang.Object

Provides methods to read `Font` glyphs for strings into `Polygonal` geometry.

It is suggested to use larger point sizes to render fonts glyphs, to reduce the effects of scale-dependent hints. The resulting geometry are in the base coordinate system of the font. The geometry can be further transformed as necessary using `AffineTransformation`s.
