[Verse-dev] Verse in Cairo?

[Stuart Axon]

I suppose what I was getting at is that curves can be represented in the protocol to some extent, it would need more work to use it for curves.  Being able to send fonts would be useful too in the longrun anyway, but thats another thread.

Ah, I had totally forgotten about the Curve node. :) But ... it is not
the "proper" solution, at all.

As it says on the page, curves are meant to express a changing value,
for instance to animate a skeleton. Curves *themselves* are not
meant to be visible, so it would be very weird to use curves for glyph
representations. Perhaps it could be forced to make service, or you
could define a skinned geometry to get curves to edit ... But it's all
a bit awkward.
