Fonts

[ulrike@example.com]

I would like to display Japanese characters as IndexedFaceSets in VRML. I found 
a commercial program that takes the fonts available on the system and lets me 
create one 3D character at a time, but it is not possbile to automate that 
process, so I have been told by support. I was wondering whether there is an 
open source version of such a program. My search so far turned up nothing, but 
that might be due to wrong search terms. Or is there some tool to get the 
relevant information about the fonts?
