Re: [Visualpython-users] Complete ASCII character set

[Kadir H. <kha...@ya...>]

I think I have downloaded it from the following link:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/TTFQuery/1.0.2

( I have three different TTF Query installed, this one should be the one working)

It has sources as well,  Ibelieve they should compile with Python 2.6. I am using Python 2.5.

This sounds promising. When VPython was very new, as a kind of stop-gap
I wrote the visual.text module for 3D text, but as you know it's very
limited and should be replaced by something along the lines of what
you're working on. 

At http://sourceforge.net/projects/ttfquery/files/ the .exe package for Windows requires Python 2.5, but I'm running 2.6,
and it wasn't clear to me what files I should download to be able to
build from source. Can you tell us? Thanks.
