This is some experimental code for drawing 3d truetype fonts with cairo. It still needs work but does a pretty good job drawing 3d characters in the dataset tested.

What I would like to be able to do is draw 3d fonts and be able to apply 3d transforms to them in a simple graphics pipeline with cairo. Something like.

The 3d chars draw well and look good in cairo. Is there already a good solution available for 3d fonts?
