Filled fonts for text
The small details within letters can be difficult to print.
Is there an easy way to fill in circles in letters? For example, the
"Ope" (nsc) "ad".
There are "filled fonts" which can be installed:

fill() text("OpenSCAD");
This is only available in the development snapshots.
Selecting a dedicated font might still be a good option. I believe the
keyword is "Stencil Fonts".
ciao,
Torsten.
Interesting- I'm using OpenSCAD Version: 2024.10.02 (git e972ed84e) and it says "WARNING: fill() not yet implemented for 3D"
What am I missing?

A baby can be defined as an ego with a noise at one end and a smell at the other.
Your job as parents is to teach them to control all three.
My job as a grandad is to tell you how you are doing it all wrong!
The return value from text() is 2D, so I have no idea.

You are trying to apply fill() to a 3d shape which is not supported.
NOT OK: extrude to 3D, then fill
fill() linear_extrude(2) text("OpenSCAD")
OK: first fill in 2D, then extrude to 3D
linear_extrude(2) fill() text("OpenSCAD")
If in doubt, post the code.
ciao,
Torsten.
Ah- that explains it- It needs to go elsewhere in my code.
And indeed it works like a charm when you put it in the correct place- thanks Torsten.
