OpenSCAD Fonts

Fonts that are available for use within the CadHub OpenSCAD IDE listed at the bottom of this page.

Using fonts

The way to use the fonts with text() is to ether use font="<fontName>" or font="<fontName>:style=<styleName>"

An example of both would be:

sampleText="the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog";text(sampleText, font = "DejaVu Sans", size=6);translate([0,-10,0])  text(sampleText, font = "DejaVu Sans:style=bold", size=6);

Use with the customizer

If you would like to offer font selection to users with the customizer, the best way is to add a curated list using a select.

For example:

// font selectionfont = "DejaVu Serif"; // ["DejaVu Serif", "URW Gothic L", "URW Bookman"]
