According to font specifications, both Type1 and TrueType require that the outer boundary of a glyph be drawn in a certain direction (they happen to be opposite from each other). The TrueType font file specification tells us that contours that need to be filled black must have a clockwise direction. If we want to make a white area inside an existing contour we must make the direction of the new contour counter clockwise, while it is opposite case in Type1. Added a check and flag (isCCw) for the same. while creating shapes.
…ic font text geometries in THREE.TextGeometry Tools accept OTF/TTF files and creates a typeface js file which can be included and used to create text mesh with different fonts via new THREE.TextGeometry.

Truetype isn't always clockwise. -> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.fonts/jysddVs06XM That is why facetype.js makes it possible to switch between direction. I also think that limiting the charcodes to only ASCII values isn't correct. |

I was working with fonts and paths when i recognized a necessary addition in THREE.JS.
According to the specifications Truetype and Type1 fonts differ in 'direction of paths'.
So using the current FontUtils can create problems with Type1 fonts where holes will be replaced by mesh and vice versa.
Also using the tool provided any font can be used for creating Text Mesh, provided TTF/OTF files for the same,
