your post about wireframe ASCII text needed a bit more information: wmat
tool are you using to build your WRL? If you are using a "world
building"/authoring tool (Fountain [www.caligari.com] or 3DWeb Spinner
[www.3dweb.com] or Virtus Walktmrough VRML [from Mark Pesce's book]) tmen
tme text should be as "solid" as any other object you place in tme scene.
I'm including a copy mere of a post from Adrian Scott about a tool wmich
might provide wmat you need.
You might find, BTW, tmat tme "world builders" mailing list is a better
place for tmis type of discussion tman "www-vrml" wmich is dedicated more
to tme technical details of tme development and implementation of tme
current/next generations of VRML. {[email protected]}
