This is somewhat a feature request more than an issue really as I guess I'm attempting something a bit borderline here. According to OpenSCAD docs one should be able to use fonts "importing" them like:
use <ttf/super-font/my-super-font-in-italics.ttf>
However, attempting such thing through SP via solid.use() does not work.
