This module allows you to create a custom font based on an existing font, adjusting the scale, stroke thickness, angle, and other properties of each glyph.
A percentage to condense (less than 100) or expand (greater than 100) the glyphs horizontally.
A number of degrees to lean the glyphs to the left (negative angle) or to the right (positive angle).
A stroke width, in thousandths of a text unit, to add to the glyph’s outline, creating a bold effect.
Set to true to replace lower-case characters with small versions of their upper-case glyphs.
Additional space, in thousandths of a text unit, to add between glyphs.
