Is it possible to get *beveled* truetype fonts or sweeps in Pov-Ray ? And if
so , how?
Thanks
Colin

Directly in Pov-Ray, no (as far as I know). You could do this sort of thing
in Wings (http://www.wings3d.com). It's a freeware subD modeler, and does
text. It even has a bevel command for lines that could give your the effect
you're looking for.

For textobjects there's the Bevelled_Text-macro in shapes.inc.

Yes, using my proximity/distance/blur function pattern with method of simple
beveler in tutorial I'm working on. Crossection of beveling is there
controlled simply by spline. But proximity pattern makes this solution veeery
slow. It could be much faster if iso_chars.inc from iso_csg library would be
used but this limits shape of characters. Perhaps in next version of iso_csg
library object along spline will be possible so it will be possible to bevel
any supported spline (or IC_XXX object in general). Perhaps I will share my
beveler with iso_csg. Unfortunatelly you have not complete list of source so
real answer to your question is "No" but you have enough informations above
and below to start working around it if you want it before my release :-)

Their freeware "Elefont" is a pretty good text beveller and output triangles
to POV / Moray or DXF format.

Could someone explain me what exactly does "beveled" mean and why
the text primitive in POV-Ray is not beveled?
