Hi there,

Still on the same project, based mostly on typo, I'm trying to get
some words from the same text in another font. (more precisely:
highlighting some words with a bold font) The first thing that came to
my mind was to have the main text on a first TextField3D object with
the regular font and then find the index of each word I want in a bold
font and create as TextField3D as there are words and then place those
words at the coordinate of the word in regular font. The thing is
Shape3D doesn't implement x, y and z so I cant get a single char
position in the object. I've tryied using the TextField3D.letters and
get each char's first vertex' coordinates but the result is not really
precise.

The only thing that works well is to remove the chars from one
TextField3D to add them in the new TextField3D, but with this solution
I can't chose the font. So I tried to outline the chars in the new
TextField to get a bold effect but I could'nt succeed making the
outline property of either the Shape3D or the TextField3D work (I also
tried the basic way using a WireFrame Material, but that doesn"'t give
the result I need, I also tried mixing the WireFrame Material with a
ColorMaterial in a Composite Material but Composite Material doesn't
accept WireFrame Materials)

So here's my question:what is the appropriate way to place some chars/
a TextField3D depending on chars in another TextField3D's position??
