PhotoFont fun

Right now it's only configurable by editing the java source, so it's not quite fit for public consumption, but this is what the output looks like so far:
I call this configuration set "poorly inked metal". Here is the same process with slightly different parameters:

I would LOVE to play with your java sources !!!!! :)
i worked myself on some Processing applets (proce55ing.org) to distress some fonts.
long life to your foundry
