Feature request: Text Extrusion/Height
Similar to how Three.js textGeometry supports extrusion and specifying a height, it would be great if this lib supported that as well.
That would be nice! Unfortunately I don't feel that's in scope for this particular tool, which is very much designed around SDF rendering. Unless there's a brilliant technique for using 2D SDFs to render extruded shapes, without constructing vertex geometries (I'd love to know about this!!!), we'd be essentially duplicating Three's TextGeometry anyway, so why not just use that.
There would also be lots of questions around how certain features (e.g. outline, stroke, curveRadius) would map onto glyphs that have depth. And, of course, very different performance considerations.
I can see the possibility of another tool using our font parsing and layout logic, which should already be possible. I'd definitely support such an effort.
Is there any way to implement this today? I want to take 2D Text from troika and turn it into 3D Text with depth. Do I have to utilize the extrudeGeometry /> tag?
