Via import using either our step-g or 3dm-g importers. We don't yet provide a way to interactively create/edit NURBS. Programmatically, there are several options. > what is the best way in BRL-CAD to model fonts such as the New York Times's > (see http://www.nytimes.com/) with it's serifs and curves? Currently, the best way is to render the font to a bitmap image, then extrude the bitmap. There's an example here: http://brlcad.org/wiki/EBM > the following command in the Command Window causes the BRLCAD 7.22 for MacOSX > application to freeze: > > exec ./rel-7.22.0/bin/pix-fb -F0 -s 950 > /Users/philippe/Desktop/BRLCad/hache.pix Hard to say with certainty what's going on there without more information but given how the tcl 'exec' command works, it is going to hang until pix-fb terminates. Unfortunately, that's intrinsic and the secure fix would be to just disable the exec command. I recommend running pix-fb outside of mged instead. Cheers!
