  • Thanx for tutorial, this I have found also but I need to edit the text , can I convert it to mesh somehow and edit like normal object? Thank you

  • @nrhack you can convert text to a mesh object with alt+C, then select 'Mesh from..." when the menu pops up. I *highly* recommend you watch my latest video on the Remesh modifier too, since I talk about that exact topic, and how to easily improve the text's mesh's topology.

  • Are those fonts that in my computer can be used for free?

  • @galit314 Yup, pretty much any font you have on your computer you can use in Blender... if you watch my video, you'll see that I navigate to the C:\windows\fonts\ folder to file all the .ttf font files.. they can be used in Blender, and this is where Windows computers generally stores all installed fonts..

see all

  • why cant they make this more straitforward

  • Thank you man! :D

  • The pre installed fonts on a windows system can be used for everything u want... if it's private, commercial or something like print it out an rub it all over your face, it doesn't matter. The only restriction is , it's not allowed to share the ttf files itself. Generally you could say, every font that's bought can be used for anything except sharing

  • @galit314, cgboorman

    I think that the gist of the questions is, are there any legal ramifications for using these fonts?

    TTF, TrueType Fonts, were originally developed by Apple Computer and did at first have some legality issues associated with them. However, there was never much strict enforcement for *use*, and the patents covering TTF expired back in I think May 2010 anyway.

    OTF, OpenType Font, developed by Microsoft I don't think ever had legal issues to begin with and so are free to use.
