Apr 24, 2016 at 10:36 comment added kirma @VividD Actually I haven't come up with anything specifically fancy myself, but reg can be substituted with any geometric region (although mesh region is probably required for performance). Tweaking of distribution of properties of candidate lines and adding an exponent to weight values are two additional variations which come to my mind...
Apr 24, 2016 at 10:11 comment added VividD @J.M. I know that, but I am asking the author of the answer if he came across some examples during development and testing that are interesting enough to share with us. He must have done some experimenting.
Apr 24, 2016 at 10:05 comment added J. M.'s missing motivation @Vivid, you can do experiments yourself, just change the appropriate places in Style["MUSEUM", FontFamily -> "Arial"].
Apr 24, 2016 at 9:56 comment added VividD @kirma Can you perhaps come up with some visually intereresting examples of other words, and other fonts?
Apr 23, 2016 at 16:22 comment added kirma @MartinBüttner Yes... I think line-mesh intersection should really work even otherwise and one should be just be able to check out RegionMeasure after that, but it appears that's a bit optimistic. I didn't actually notice you mentioned this problem on your answer, but played with it on my own...
Apr 23, 2016 at 16:19 comment added Martin Ender Ohh, turning the line into a narrow polygon makes the RegionIntersection work? That's clever. :)
