Neither. I am looking for to emulate a writing nib which actually does the writing. Sure enough, I have seen those “use a scribbly font, define a mask, then reveal it gradually” demos on YouTube too, but unfortunately, I need something more — for the fact that I need to design most likely over a thousand individual glyphs, with calligraphed look, for an Indic script for which there is no font yet made whatsoever.
Sure, you could say “yes, why don’t you then take a pen and draw and digitise them?” I’ve been trying to work on that for the past ~6 weeks, but unfortunately, I don’t have a steady-enough hand for to execute such characters properly. Which is why I wish to execute them on the computer, allowing me to tweak until they look like they should, instead of keeping on writing the same glyph the 50th time and still not getting the proportions and angles right.
