According to [OpenSCAD docs][1] one should be able to use fonts \"importing\" them like:\r\n`use \u003cttf/super-font/my-super-font-in-italics.ttf\u003e`\r\n\r\nHowever, attempting such thing through SP via `solid.use()` does not work.\r\n```shell\r\nTraceback (most recent call last):\r\n  File \"/tmp/test/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/solid/objects.py\", line 856, in use\r\n    contents = scad_file_path.read_text()\r\n  File \"/usr/lib/python3.9/pathlib.py\", line 1256, in read_text\r\n    return f.read()\r\n  File \"/usr/lib/python3.9/codecs.py\", line 322, in decode\r\n    (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)\r\nUnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position 16: invalid start byte\r\n\r\nDuring handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:\r\n\r\nTraceback (most recent call last):\r\n  File \"/tmp/src/test.py\", line 15, in \u003cmodule\u003e\r\n    sp.use(\"../aux/awesome-font-bold.ttf\")\r\n  File \"/tmp/test/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/solid/objects.py\", line 858, in use\r\n    raise Exception(f\"Failed to import SCAD module '{scad_file_path}' with error: {e} \")\r\nException: Failed to import SCAD module '../aux/awesome-font-bold.ttf' with error: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position 16: invalid start byte \r\n```\r\n\r\n[1]: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Text#Using_Fonts_\u0026_Styles","author":{"url":"https://github.com/rockstorm101","@type":"Person","name":"rockstorm101"},"datePublished":"2021-02-22T20:57:10.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/165/SolidPython/issues/165"}
