Font2OpenSCAD

Font2OpenSCAD is a lightweight and intuitive piece of software whose main purpose is to assist you in creating multilanguage fonts, which you can then use in OpenSCAD for writing special characters, specific to a certain language.

After downloading the file, all you need to do is unzip the archive, after which you can double click the EXE file and start working with the application, with no installation process being necessary.

Subsequently, this means that no registry entries will be created on your system, thus allowing you to remove it when you no longer have use for it just by deleting the containing folder.

Moreover, you can also store and run Font2OpenSCAD from a USB stick or similar memory drives, on all compatible computers, either at home or at the office, in just a few clicks.

The interface of the program comprises three distinct panels, namely 'Fonts', 'Unicode Blocks' and 'Set Start Index For'. You have a drop down menu which enables you to select the targeted language from the multiple available options.

To get started, first you need to select the 'Font' that you wish to work with, which in turn will display the available 'Unicode Blocks'. Next, you can opt for the language that you need, between 'Batak', 'Brahmi', 'Braille Patterns', 'Coptic', 'Currency Symbols', 'Javanese', 'Mongolian', and countless others.

You can then choose the preferred 'Set Start Index For' 'Symbols', 'Capitals A-Z', 'Small a-z', 'Special Char 11' and several others, while clicking on a specific item from the 'Unicode Blocks' panel will prompt you to perform the change of index. When satisfied, you can press the 'Generate Script' button to complete the operation.
