It is a closed system, but we have supplied a number of fonts located in the "font" directory in the main "processing" directory. We expect to change the Processing font technology in the future.</p> <p><a href="http://processing.org/learning/basics/letters.html"><b>Original Processing.org Example:</b> Letters</a><br> <script type="application/processing"> size(200, 200); background(0); // Load the font.
