hmm..I've used Elefont a little, and it seems to export as .dxf (forgot to check if it does .obj..;), but Wings 3d will export in .3ds, which shows up a little better in Bryce..only headache is you have to type in the actual name of the font..;) just my 2p..and don't worry, you can try smoothing on the letters in Bryce as well..

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
