Here is another way of rounding edges of fonts. The method isn't very innovative
or elegant but it's proven very versatile and useful and the results come out
okay, at least for simple objects like icons, which is mainly what I use it for.
It involves taking the outline of bezier curves -- exported from Illustrator or
CorelDRAW with a macro -- and using the curve as the path for the well-travelled
connect-the-dots, cones-and-spheres route. The sides are extruded with a
parallel, contour curve. The tricky part is telling the POV macro how to cut out
the holes. I'll post the set of macros when I get a chance.
