Description
ofPartyPeople,
I'm pretty sure I have some code for tabbing ofTrueTypeFont somewhere inside some project...
it's not super well tested and I don't think I used it with stringAsShapes nor with stringAsPoints...
but I can clean it up, test it and PR something if it would be useful.
I know ofFont will handle tabs and other escape characters in the future ('\r' where you at?), but if ofDrawBitmapString() is gonna have tabs, maybe ofTrueTypeFont should also have tabs : )

Research direction
Start by locating the ofTrueTypeFont implementation and compare its handling with ofDrawBitmapString(), especially for tabs and escape characters. Check the existing stringAsShapes and stringAsPoints paths, then define done as consistent tab behavior with coverage for the relevant font-rendering cases.
