The fonts do not contain all characters of the UTF-8 space, but that is no reason to be sad. The FontStyle node offers the possibility to specify a font family other than the default built-in fonts. The family field can be used to specify a URL to a custom TTF or OTF font. This allows everyone to use their favourite font and also the one in their language (Emojis, Katakana, Arabic, or Chinese, ...).<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">In X_ITE, the X3DFontStyleNode is internally an X3DUrlObject, which makes this possible.<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://create3000.github.io/x_ite/components/text/fontstyle/#supported-file-formats" target="_blank">https://create3000.github.io/x_ite/components/text/fontstyle/#supported-file-formats</a><u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">I think everyone is at peace with this.<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Best regards,<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Holger<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">PS: Coincidentally, the default SERIF font contains the smiley emoji :).<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">--<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Holger Seelig<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Leipzig, Germany<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><a href="mailto:holger.seelig@yahoo.de" target="_blank">holger.seelig@yahoo.de</a><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><a href="https://create3000.github.io/x_ite/" target="_blank">https://create3000.github.io/x_ite/</a><u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt"><u></u> <u></u></p><blockquote style="margin-top:5pt;margin-bottom:5pt"><div><p class="MsoNormal">Am 30.04.2024 um 16:27 schrieb Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV) <<a href="mailto:brutzman@nps.edu" target="_blank">brutzman@nps.edu</a>>:<u></u><u></u></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="m_8419161502100660822MsoListParagraph" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:0.25in"><u></u><span style="font-size:11pt"><span>1.<span style="font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size-adjust:none;font-kerning:auto;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-feature-settings:normal"> </span></span></span><u></u><span style="font-size:11pt">Thanks for all of the amazing things you are doing!
