Text Path
The outline of the letters of a text, drawn as lines.
A Text Path draws the outline of the letters of a text, with no mesh. It is created with the Text Path button, in Add Object, and starts standing up, centered on its own origin.
The fonts are the same as in 3D Text, from the Google Fonts catalog. Many fonts draw each letter with overlapping outlines, such as the stem and the bar of a T. The text path joins those outlines, so each letter comes out as a single line, with no inner strokes.
Like any path, it can be filled and becomes a solid inside Extrude, with the inside of the letters left open.
