Example of 'Text Entity' & 'Model Font' please?

Can someone please show me how to use R8 ‘Text Entity’ & ‘Model Font’ , just don’t get it?

Here’s one way that these components can work together.

Ah, i see. Thanks. Would be great to have option in the Text Entity to convert to outline crv or mesh. Currently only supported by external plugins

Hi -

Something like this?

What !! . Love it

@wim1 ,
can you explain why the screen size of text in rhino is different from when I need to make an export as pdf for instance. I would expect if I explode the Rhino Text Entity it would keep the same size

PS: the same is when using ‘Custom Curve Preview’, when for instance dash sizes are not identical forom what I see in rhino and when I look at the exported pdf’s

Hi -

I’m not sure what exporting to PDF has to do with things here, but I’m not seeing a size difference between the text entity and the exploded text in Grasshopper here:

FWIW, I’m using a new file from the factory-default “Small Objects - Millimeters” template when testing this.

your suggestion to check out the templates, solve it. I accidentally scaled ‘Model Space’ by 10x
