Circle Text for OpenSCAD

UPDATED: Ver 1.1:
Added ForceFixedSpacing parameter. When ForceFixedSpacing =0 it uses the fontmetrics.scad. When ForceFixedSpacing is set to any other value, each character gets its own fixed spacing equal to the value you set ForceFixedSpacing to. This allows you to use fonts not supported by the font metrics library.

Also in Ver 1.1, added VFlipChars parameter. VFlipChars=false or not included has text with the top of the characters to the inside of the circle. VFlipChars=true puts the top of the characters to the outside of the circle.



This is an openSCAD library for creating text around a circle.
It works by creating each letter individually. The letters them selves are not each rounded or distorted.

If you want a curved face on the letters, try using intersection with a cylinder object (these can be conical too)

To use this library, place the following files in the folder with your .scad file.

circleText.scad
fontmetrics.scad
string.scad
fontmetricsdata.
