    Basically like described above by drlava, I just did it in Cinema4D.
    The text is a simple spline text.
    The Dots are spline circles with a radius of 1 and follow the different segments of the text spline via align to spline function.

    But in the .ild end-result, are they incorporated as part of the line as a heap of points, or are they scanned on top of the line afterwards?
    I prefer the former, as the latter contains a lot more blanking points and the dots may not be exactly on the line because of hysteresis.

    Uh Oh !!

    You may have opened the floodgates now.

    Post an example .ild frame so folks can see how it's done.

    The only thing wrong with it is that it you've spelt Soforene wrong.
