Rick-I'm trying to create the look of CAST fonts in Turbo Silver 3.0 SV. The way I'm doing it is to load the font object,copy to the buffer,resize slightly smaller,move it on the y axis forward,paste the original font behind it and then use the skin command to get the look of a tapered font. The problem is,it looses it faces on the front.The faces on the taper or the skin are there but the font faces are gone after I SKIN.Can you Help.Maybe theres a better way to go about getting the same effect. Thanks Brooks

Brooks, skin is really meant to be used with points and edges only, not faces. But it occurs to me that you might try loading the font a third time and then joining it to your skinned object. This would give you the faces you need. –Rick
