How to : create a ink annotation from a string

[pulse-mind]

Hello,

I am trying to convert a string to an ink annotation using a a font.

Why :

• Because it is not possible to use any font with free text
• Because stamps annotation does not support image (otherwise I would create an image from text

I created a SVG from text using Cairo :

with cairo.SVGSurface(svg_file_path, 200, 50) as surface:
            # creating a cairo context object for SVG surface
            # using Context method
            Context = cairo.Context(surface)
            # setting color of the context
            Context.set_source_rgb(1, 0, 0)
            # approximate text height
            Context.set_font_size(30)
            # Font Style
            Context.select_font_face("Arial", cairo.FONT_SLANT_NORMAL, cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL)
            # position for the text
            Context.move_to(35, 45)
            # displays the text
            Context.text_path("Lorem ipsum")
            # Width of outline
            Context.set_line_width(1)
            # stroke out the color and width property
            Context.fill()

Then I get the SVG path to create a list of list of points :D (as described here https://pymupdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/recipes-annotations.html#how-to-use-ink-annotations) and I used annot = page.add_ink_annot(all_pixels_svg).
But at the end I have a stroke SVG.

Do you have any suggestion, others solutions ?
My goal is to write like an ink signature from a given string.

Interesting idea!
But let me convert this to a "Discussion" first - this is where this content belongs to.
