3D Text - Bevel not working Properly - Bug

[Anonymous]

I need to create many 3D numbers. Therefore i chose Type: Bevel.

Most numbers work fine, except any number with "8". Seems the system has problems with characters with 2 holes. When i try to create an 8, the node pops up in the outliner but no mesh in 3D space, like with all other numbers.

I really miss Softimage, where this was no problem. Maya is so unreliable, is there any solution to this bug? Most fonts aren't working, but i can't just taker any for my project. I need every font to work, e.g. Futura Com.

I know there are other ways to create an extruded 8, but since i need many numbers i need to streamline the workflow. It wold be perfect if this "cannot create an extruded 8 with the text tool"-bug wouldnt exist.

Any insights?

Thanks,

Erik

2022 and the problem is still present! As long as (any) curve shape has more than 1 hole, Bevel Plus not only bugs out often, but sometimes it also crashes the whole program.

3ds max got these simple(straight) extrusions from all sorts of spline/curve shapes working nicely ages ago, so please Autodesk, do something about it.
