I am sure that some of you here use OpenScad to model things up, today I had the idea of pairing it with Font Awesome, and now I can make more complex things with less code

Do you have a writeup of how you did it? I’m not familiar with fontawesome, but I have all kinds of experience with the pain that can be text in openscad, so any way to make it easier would be nice.

@Stephen_Baird I did it on macOS but if you are using windows or a linux distro it should be almost the exact same process, you just need to install the font the way your OS does it.

@Stephen_Baird update open scad it is now really easy to use text, there is naive support for ttf.

Ooh, I guess I do really need to update then. Somehow, I always manage to forget to update it.
