A JavaScript library that converts text into SVG path data using font files, with no native dependencies. It works in both Node.js and browsers, rendering glyphs from TTF/OTF fonts as SVG path elements.

Use cases

• convert text to svg path in javascript
• render text as vector paths without native dependencies
• generate svg logos from text programmatically
• get path d attribute for text glyphs
• embed custom fonts as svg paths
• create text outlines for laser cutting or plotting

When to choose

• you need text as SVG paths in Node.js or the browser without native modules
• you want to embed text as vector outlines so it renders without the font installed
• you need precise glyph path data for animation, cutting, or plotting

When to avoid

• you need full SVG text layout features like rich text or bidirectional text
• you want a general-purpose SVG manipulation library
• you need live editable text in the DOM rather than baked paths
