Is is possible to set a own vector font like setting a own bitmap font ?

No, but you could compile it with your own font. I think there's a script in there somewhere to create one. I may have generated it using some of the tools I used when I did Morphyre, but actually three.js has a Shape class that should do most of the work for you.

IIRC for each character, you just need to work out a series of convex polygons that describe the filled part.

thanks, will try and update this conversation with my steps and results.

Just to add - making fonts automatically isn't perfect, as I'm sure you noticed. It might be easier just to make (or re-use) a polygon editor and then draw each character by hand.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
