## What it is
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
