Openscad font by Dippo Jun 15, 2011

Description

This program is a simple and fast text displayer. Inside you find a handmade font, that gives the option to be resized to any size you want and to any depth/height you want.
I tried to create a font that has a minimum of polygons but still is good readable.
The only problem is that Openscad can't handle strings, so text have to be placed letter by letter.

I used this polygon generator program (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:9290) to create the letters very quickly.

Where the first parameter is the text (between quotes);
