Text to wires: a built-in single-stroke engraving font.

The glyphs are the kernel’s own, defined here as polyline strokes on a six-by-nine grid: the shapes a CNC engraver or a drawing title block wants, dependency-free and deterministic. Outline fonts are a file format problem: when a TTF reader arrives with the exchange work, its glyph outlines feed the same wire builder. Until then, what this speaks it speaks exactly, and any character it does not carry is refused by name rather than dropped.

Functions§

make_text
Build text as engraved wires in the xy plane of frame, height tall at the capitals, reading along x.
