<div dir="auto">I’m not sure if the x3d exports as IndexedFace Set, etc., but if you have a Blender file, We can look into modifying an exporter. Alternatively, export as glTF and convert with view3dscene, etc.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Extruding text characters for a given font has always been a frequently requested task using VRML and X3D. Seems even more useful when considering X3D models for 3D printing.</div>

<div dir="ltr">X3D has flat Text using FontStyle and screen-sized Text using ScreenFontStyle, but no extruded 3D font style.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Historical blockers to this goal have been computational expense (especially for keeping VRML/X3D players lightweight) and lack of openly available font libraries. Neither of these seems like a blocker these days, especially given much development and availability of WebFonts and CSS fonts module.</div>

<div dir="ltr">I found one online tool supporting 3D extrusion of text. Lots of great options. Tried to extrude "X3D" using their default BlackJack font, things moved along swimmingly right up to the next-to-last page requesting $13.57 USD. Uh, no thanks.</div>
