Readers interested in 3D modelling using a computer might like to know of my CHESS 3D font.

There is a link for downloading the font together with some notes at the following web page.

The font was designed for use with the Serif ImpactPlus program, though may possibly be of use with other 3D modelling packages depending upon whether they can form an object from a glyph in a font and, if so, whether that object can be a solid of revolution about an axis or a slab design as the user chooses.
