Paul,
I was the other person. All I did was use the text button to create my
text(in this case the number 08 . I used a futuristic lookinf computer type'
I had also used a futura type . Create the text with the selected font, do
not extrude it. Place it in the background and select solid drill stencil.
I ended up with a plane that had the numbers polygons nicely placed on the
panel. It was nice because the closed parts of the numbers were actually
modeled so you had no problem with the surface of the forground object
showing through. Why would custom fonts be a problem ? Once you create
your text object it is handled like any other. Maybe a very complex type
would have a problem ? I really dont know.
I also stenciled my sharks mouth and it worked well. My problem is getting
the bitmap to fit properly.
