nvm forgot that I had to rewrite it...

#local txt = text{ttf "handelgo_font.ttf" ...}

you need "ttf" after the opening "{"

The name of the font must be enclosed between double quotes. Otherwise, 
it's treated as a user variable.

It's preferable to add the extention to the name but it's not absolutely 
required.

A reminder:

You should take the habit of ALWAYS starting all your user defined 
variables by an UPPERCASE letter.

I do remember the very first screen saver I ever saw on a PC. It was 
under DOS 3 or about. It DID have the SCR extention and was of the TSR 
variety.

yeah I forgot to rewrite it and save, I've been using the uppercase when I
rewrite things. I've just got 2 problems, lack of understanding of the language
and poor trouble shooting the language to fix errors. like for example the
newest error,

object{ intersection{ object{txt} object{cap} } translate <0,0,-0.05>
pigment{tcolour} }

"C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\POV-Ray\v3.7\include\cap.inc" line
34: Parse Error: Expected 'object', undeclared identifier 'txt' found instead

I would assume the txt is supposed to be the name of an object, similar to the
object{cap}, since it seems to be asking for an object, rather then text.
Chances are I'm way off though.

On another note, where did all you wonderful and helpful people learn this
stuff?

Be carefull when renameing, something may need to refer to the name later :-)

txt was the declared name of a text object in line 30, see above. If you renamed
it, you'll need to rename this one to.
object{ intersection{ object{Txt}.... or whatever you used.

line 30   #local Txt = text{ttf "handelgo.ttf",value,40,0
scale<diam/3,diam/3,diam/3> translate<-diam/1.5,diam,-20>}

line 34 object{ intersection{ object{txt} object{cap} } translate <0,0,-0.05>
pigment{tcolour} }

so basically I need to copy the handlego.ttf and place it in the txt location?

No, you need to change "object{txt}" in line 34 to "object{Txt}" to match up
with the name you used in line 30.

ok you stephen have completely lost me...

line 30 doesn't mention an object...this is the entire snipet of code.

#macro CAP_DIS_CERAMIC_DISK_GRND(diam1,value,leadspc,bcolour,tcolour)
#local diam = diam1/2;
 #local cap = object {superellipsoid{<1, 1>scale<diam,diam*0.25,diam>rotate
<-90,-7.5,0>translate<0,diam*1.1,0>} }
 (this is line 30) #local Txt = text{ttf "handelgo.ttf",value,40,0
scale<diam/3,diam/3,diam/3> translate<-diam/1.5,diam,-20>}
 #local leg = object{ cylinder {  <0,diam*0.2,0>,<0,-10.0>,0.25
texture{col_silver}}}
 #local ls2 = leadspc/2 ;
 union{
  (this is line 34) object{ intersection{ object{txt} object{cap} } translate
<0,0,-0.05> pigment{tcolour} }
  object {cap pigment{bcolour}}
  difference{
   torus { leadspc/2, 0.25 rotate -90*x  pigment{bcolour} }
   box { <-leadspc,0,0.5>, <leadspc,-leadspc,-0.5> }
   translate <0,diam*0.2,0>
  }
  object{ leg translate<-ls2,0,0> }
  object{ leg translate< ls2,0,0> }
  translate <0,0,0>
  pigment{bcolour}
 }
#end

could it be something in one of these other lines?

object{ intersection{ object{Txt} object{cap} } translate > <0,0,-0.05>
pigment{tcolour} }

Rework line 34, it should have "Txt"

Carry on :-)
