[AGAIN]Printing text as text using printer.?

General JUCE discussion
1

Do we have any thing for printing text as text.? LowLevelGraphicsPostScriptRenderer does allow us to print image very easily, but what do we need to do for text.? Printting text as image would be bad idea so is there anything that can help.?

LowLevelGraphicsPostScriptRenderer?

It handles paths - the best way to do text would be to convert it to a path and print that, I guess.
