EleFont

EleFont is a free tool to create 3D text objects from TTF fonts (ELEvated-FONTSs). The models are then saved. Elefont was developped to create nice landscape pictures together with texts. You can also use it to create free scaleable texts from TTF fonts in a CAD system.

Note: The link to Elefont does not work anymore. Neither is there a link on the main site of the author (www.arminsoft.ch).

The program runs under Windows from version 95 hence but needs MFC42.DLL and MSVCRT.DLL, both of which can be found on the website as MS-DLL.ZIP with 575 KB. The program itself is 242 KB to download and uses 350 KB on the harddisk (with the DLLs 1.5 MB). Installation consists of unpacking the program with the two DLLs within the zip into a folder of your choice elefont14.zip.

Export Formats
The texts created can be exported into the following 3D formats:

• DXF AutoCAD (for Bryce)
• UDO/INC POV-Ray
