/** This constructs a dreidel for 3-D printing. It tests extrusion of text,
rotation of VoxelArrays, tapered cylinders, rounded cubes,
and constructive solid geometry.
The shaft of the dreidel is not generated in this file; it would be
hard to print in one piece. The shaft program is located in the file
dreidelShaft.frink
You may have to adjust the fonts in the text[] function to match the
fonts available on your operating system. On Fedora Linux, one of the
few fonts that has classic Hebrew characters is "Liberation Serif". You
may have to find a font on your system that has agreeable Hebrew characters.
