hmm,
I have investigated / researched a bit more ... TL:DR ... I guess I will have to go down the "draw my own strokes" ... and create some sort of "Stroke based font file in a PKDrawing file-type format" ... to use for what I want to make.
If you are a bit like me, and would like to understand why? ... please open a document in a vector app (I used Affinity Designer...) and type a text ... and Outline it / "Convert it to Curves" ... and analyze what you get (see attached image).
Take the letter H in my case ... it's a shape ... that has an outline stroke that goes around in the canvas to make up a shape we understand as the letter H ... it's not "just a stroke" from the middle ... as when we write with our pencil on an iPad or for that matter with a pen on a piece of paper ...
After I outlined the text ... I used some help guides to manually draw some strokes with the pen-tool in the middle of the outlined shapes ... and gave these strokes a thickness ... so it looks to the eyes as the font-face letters do. And in the end the blue (bottom) looks like the green (top) ...
And in this case, I've chosen a "simple font-face" ... image if I'd gone with a Times New Roman font-face :-)
