I have DL'd Elefont for as a text tool with Vue. I have DL'd Crossroads 3D to convert Elefont's text to Vue. After them I decided to go for Wings 3D. None of these seem to do their job: Elefont exports .dxf-files Vue can't read and Crossaroads does the converting so that the result reminds me of abstract art instead of letters (I've tried to export as .3ds, .obj and .dxf, none reminds me of text in Vue). Wings 3D might do the trick, but by the way it's interface works, I'd say it was coded in the late 80's. I have 3dsmax, but using that to type text is like buying a Humvee for your wife's shopping car -efficient but perhaps slightly exaggerated. I have Bryce 5 in it's box, but I don't feel like installing 100-meg text converter to work with Elefont. Are there any simple "write TTF-font text in here and export it"-kind of programs out there? I fell in love with Elefont, but I always seem to fall in love with something that isn't quite working for me. Recommends? -Hilt
