I needed astrogical signs in 3D for a personal project but couldn't find any in poser, dxf or any other format importable into poser. I have a great font already with the symbols I need but when I tried using the programs PFE and Elefont, the export formats either were not supported by Poser or Bryce or I got an error when trying to import them. Any ideas?

Anim8or has a font extrude feature - it's a free modeller which may be useful for other stuff too. It can export directly in OBJ, which would be best for Poser.

Also, Wings3d is a crossplatform option. It has Adobe Illustrator 8 (AI) import capabilities.

Wct2pov available free at the link can convert text into an object and saves wavefront objects.

I've tried various 3d programs including shade and anim8or. Some of the letters are OK, however letters like R, P etc that "have holes in them" do not import into Poser properly and the holes get filled in. Does anyone know how to stop or get around this. I usully export them to obj.

Hrm, ok fonts can be converted to 3d in just about any modeling program...any way to change the default font the the one I need? I have Anim8tor, Wings 3d and and older version of Rhino at hand...no idea what CD holder my copies of Amorphium or whatever old modelers I have are at right now. o_O.
