ofTrueTypeFont feature discussion

This is a feature discussion issue for what should be added / changed to ofTTF.
Would be great to get some eyes on this from @vtron @ofzach @arturoc and anyone with thoughts on the matter.

TextAreas:

• Fit text to a box
• Handle overflow ( ie either truncate or resize box height )
• non ragged options
• could textAreas work with both ofTTF and ofDrawBitmapString ? abstract text formatting?

Alignment:

• Left align a string
• Right align
• Center
• Top align
• Base align

Spacing:

• Kerning
• Leading / line height

Loading:

• Allow for loading a font up to a max size for drawing at different sizes.
• Allow for selection and loading of specific sizes within one object. ie: myFont.setCurrentSize(12);
• Font family's / sets ? Bold, Italic etc?

Drawing:

• Allow for drawing font at different sizes. Scale font as needed.

Formatting:

• Could we somehow allow a string to have different colors, sizes. Right now it is a pain to change colors or sizes.
• would this be replicating basic html or another approach? maybe better as an addon?

Info:

• Ability to get the x and y position of the nth character in the string? useful maybe for cursor or selection?

Update:
-Underline
-Render rect behind text ( a la what @kylemcdonald added to ofDrawBitmapString)
-Scale type to fit a rect + keep aspect ratio
-Crazy: text along a path :)

Start by reviewing the ofTTF and ofDrawBitmapString entry points mentioned in the issue, then compare the requested text areas, alignment, spacing, loading, drawing, formatting, and character-position capabilities. The scope is currently a broad feature discussion with no selected design or defined completion criteria; a focused proposal would be needed before implementation.
