This thing is pretty obsolete, since modern OpenSCAD has the text() function, which does exactly what this does; and much more efficient at that.
Only use this if you are using an ancient version of OpenSCAD that does not have text() support, or if you are curious on how to do font metrics in a functional programming language ;-)



This is the ultimate MakerBot Font for OpenSCAD!

Now tagging and versioning (!) your OpenSCAD models is as easy as writing label("v1.0"). Give it a try! Just put an ID on every print and never lose track of your rapid prototyping evolution!

Features:
* variable-width characters (eeeevil OpenSCAD hack!)
* using new OpenSCAD string-functions (no more array ["m", "a", "d", "n", "e", "s", "s"])
* font metrics
* text alignment functions
* self-contained in one single file
* higher and lower resolution fonts are available


This file was created with my tool svgFont2scad, which takes care of all the transcoding, bezier curves, compression
