Full Use of all Fonts on you system:
EazyDraw is a Cocoa Application and has full access to all fonts that are available to your OS X system.  The wide range of typesetting capabilities that are provided by OS X are seamlessly integrated into your EazyDraw application.

Convert typeset text to Bezier Curves:
OS X provides high quality font processing that is based on Bezier curves.  EazyDraw is a vector based drawing application with advanced Bezier curve editing.  You can take advantage of this convergence of technology with one click on the convert menu.  Typeset text is precisely converted to fully editable individual Bezier curves.

No limitations on the converted Bezier paths:
The converted Bezier curves can be edited, they have stroke and fill, they will accept gradient fill and patterns, -- no limitations.  EazyDraw doesn't even know that you obtained the shapes from a typeset font.

Full support of new Tiger and Panther text capability
:
The newest versions of OS X provide the highest quality text drop shadowing capability.  EazyDraw allows the user to add these to any text, and adjust the color, transparency, blur, and offset of the shadow.  Independent setting of stroke and fill color for any font is supported for OS X versions 10.3 or newer.

Control over stroke position:
EazyDraw allows you to control position of the stroke (path or outline) relative to the fill (interior color) of any graphic.  This makes it easy to apply pleasing stylizing effects to text by placing the stroke behind the fill (it's normally drawn on top of the fill and can look jaggy or jutty).  This technique was used to create the headline for this page.  For more on this topic check out the tutorial StrokePosition on the demo download.
