I`ve always had a problem with Beveling Text, and never found out how to
do it correctly, until now. as I need too..
Heres what I`ve done. using quad polys/single sided.
1. Type 'S' character using "Maverick" font
2. Extruded it by 250mm
3. Beveled using shift & inset to 5mm
This works great on text thats straight, like "A", "I" etc.. but characters
with curves give big problems, I seem to have sharp triangular edges on the
curves of the "S".
Is there a method I should use ? (I`ve read page 40 in Modeller on the
bevel command) but still no sucess.
