// Changes:
//   Added 2D output for a svg file.
//   The length of the bar below the text "ROCINANTE"
//   is now automatically sized.
//   Note:
//     Use a OpenSCAD version of at least 2025,
//     and turn on all the Features in
//     the Preferences.
//     Then the shapes are not melted together.
//
//
// Find the fonts yourself!
// I could not find the right fonts
// with a free/open license.
//
// OpenSCAD can finetune the shapes of a font.
// A text can be made heavier or lighter
// with the offset() function, it
// can be scaled in one direction,
// and the intercharacter spacing
// can be adjusted, the corners can
// be made round, and so on.

// Overall accuracy, 10 is very low, 500 is very high.
