PARAMETRIC MODEL MAKER feature request:
As we now have the ability to upload files in a somewhat limited capacity (PNG, SVG, STL) I want to suggest adding the ability to upload custom font files (.TTF, .OTF).
Openscad has a fairly robust text feature set, and being able to use custom fonts would really, really open up the possibilities here.
But a Slicer isn’t a CAD program. So this is a specious comparison.
You can probably use any font you want in any CAD program you use. I do. If you don’t know how to use CAD software, it’s something worth learning so that you aren’t constrained by the limitations of the slicer…
I’m talking about the parametric model maker, not bambu studio
To be clear, this is also supported in OpenSCAD.
In addition to the installed fonts ( for windows only fonts installed as admin for all users ), it’s possible to add project specific font files. Supported font file formats are TrueType Fonts (.ttf) and OpenType Fonts (.otf). The files need to be registered with use<>.
use <ttf/paratype-serif/PTF55F.ttf>
It seems relatively simple to expand the allowed uploaded files to include .ttf and .otf file types, which would allow developers (and users) to add custom fonts for their parametric models.
