title: Convert a Silverlight text to a path
body: <p>Is there any way to render a Silverlight text to a path or graphics object <strong>at runtime</strong>? I know this can be done using the design tools, but I want to be able to do this on the fly.</p>
  
  <p>I've seen an example that <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/webnext/archive/2007/05/22/silverlight-convert-text-to-path.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">calls a webservice which uses WPF constructs to convert a WPF FormattedText object to a PathGeometry</a>, but those objects aren't available in Silverlight.</p>
  
  <p>I'm pretty sure this just isn't supported in Silverlight, but thought it was worth asking.</p>
