I thought I would drop this little info for anyone who cares.

If someone wants to make 3D text out of any Windows TTF, there is a program called Accutrans available. The program can be download as a trial with no limitations on options, but you have to pay for it after 30 days.

Accutrans can export the 3D text as a .X file complete with color ready to use in DBC or DBPro.

I think the .DLL uses the DX method - like the 3DText screensaver you get with windows, so it uses no media and can be used 'live' - A damn nice .dll that one - comes with AA text that is actually faster than DBPro text, outstanding.
