decimal point in text disappearing
The following code snippet
//linear_extrude(6){
difference(){
square(20);
text("5.5");
}
}
////////////////////// end
fn5 render looks ok
fn6 render dp is filled in, but outline remains
allow linear_extrude, decimal point not showing in fn5 or fn6
OpenSCAD version 2024.02.19 (git 5cfd4dbe0) Is it fixed in later versions?
Thanks,
Ray

Interesting. I can recover the decimal point...
Try this...
linear_extrude(6){
difference(){
square(20);
translate([0,5,0]) text("5.5");
}
}
try 5.2. It seems to be when the thing being differenced aligns with an
edge.

yes. The decimal point in the default font renders as a square, that has an
edge that coincides with the base of the larger square.

Testing further.
It seems if the second number is flat at the bottom, 1,2,7 and aligns
with the base of the square, and the first is a 0,2,3,5,6,8,9 then the
second does not f6 render. 4 is interesting. It's the same for letters.

Specifically for the question 'is it fixed on later versions?'
No, it's not. With 2024.08.30 on my PC, with Show Edges turned on, with
the linear_extrude activated, neither the preview nor the render look
okay. In the preview, I see lines indicating edges of the decimal point
but the shape is not removed (so the same as you described except for
the effect of Show Edges). In the render, it's as if there's no DP at all.

Oh, there's more! When I look at the output with Thrown Together, it
shows the bottom face of the extruded decimal point in purple, which
usually indicates that a polyhedron facet is wound in the wrong direction.
How can that be?

Its not just decimal point, but afaik any any character that is 'flat at
the bottom' - and it depends on the preceding character. It is not a
problem , but just behaviour that I did not expect. Thanks for confirming.

Usually 2D is pretty good that way.
In 3D, garbage in garbage out...

Wow, this is a bug, not an artifact, and it applies to preview, CGAL,
and Manifold, and it has been there since OpenSCAD first got text().
linear_extrude(6) {
difference(){
square(20);
text("3Z");
}
}
text("3Z") or text("ch"): the Z and h don't show up. That 3 and c have
round bottoms seems to be the trigger.
text("4Z"): the Z shows up
text("3O") or text("cb"): the O and b do show up, apparently because
they also have round bottoms
text("oA") or text("oB" or text("o#"): only the holes in A, B and # show up
text("oi") or text("d%"): only the dot on the i and the o's in the % show up
text("o*") or text("o+"): no problem when the second characters don't
touch baseline
text("/A") or text(",A"): certain other characters like / and , also
trigger the problem.
In other weirdness, adding # for #text() shows a +/-0.5 mm extrusion in
red, instead of a 6 mm extrusion.

Curt
