Thanks :) I'm going to spend a little more time exploring the idea of using
the Processing-context as source material (like exported files and
createFont("")).
The really interesting thing, within the context of the competition, is
whether or not this complies with the rules. Does calling on itself
constitute the "use of an external file"?
Pall, I decided that the .pde is an "internal" file based on the
open-source, shared nature of Processing. Without the .pde source, the code
loses its "open" nature.
It was also clear to me because I initially tried to use "../q.jar", and
this is only available on export -- while "../q.pde" is available both when
running from the IDE and when exported.
