kernIV

-- Is a Graphical User Interface to compose a line of 3-D text in a CAD system from a line of ASCII text typed into the GUI. This particular program is geared toward composing three-dimensional geometry derived from the DotsPlus proposed Braille mathematical typesetting standard. http://dots.physics.orst.edu/dotsplus.html

kernIV needs to load the Open Inventor files containing the DotsPlus3D font geometry. To do this, it uses the Open Inventor/Coin3D file parsing facility. To find the font files, the Open Inventor file parser will look in directories listed in the $DOTSOBJPATH environment variable. $DOTSOBJPATH should be set to a colon (:) separated list which includes the full path of the directory in which the DotsPlus3D Open Inventor font files have been installed.
