WHD Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hi All, I rarely use type in my projects but I have a project now that requires the use of the font (Helvetica Black). For some reason this font is problematic. I get the error message: " Sorry, the text could not be processed because one or more characters generated self intersecting curves. " I'm a bit surprised that any version of Helvetica would be problematic. Currently I'm using the default settings. Is there a work around for this in Animator?

RichardJoly Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Bill, I had the same message with a font (Myriad pro) yesterday... Some fonts will induce the problem others won't. I cannot find a pattern. As I actually had to use that particular font, I modelled it in FormZ... To be investigated further... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHD Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hey Richard, So I take it that there is no alternative but to build it from scratch if EIAS doesn't like it? I need to use the font because it is in a clients logo. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJoly Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Not from scratch Bill, FormZ will output the word with the chosen font as IE does. If your modeller doesn't do it, send me the logo, I will give you the .fac, it's a matter of seconds. rick@eias3d.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHD Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hey Richard, That would be spectacular. I'll contact you via email. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantomaz Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 In the past i had this error message too. My workaround was: put a space between the characters and try again. Sometimes this way was working for me. After the characters are fact files, its easy to place them in your scene at the right position. Also avoid any bevels in the making window, only plain characters. fantomaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
