I am becoming increasing frustrated with trying to find Single Stroke Fonts for Pathpilot. I find that the outlined TruType fonts just don't look good in small text sizes.

Anyone found AND successfully used a single stroke font? I need a Helvetica or Gothic font to engrave a batch of AR Lowers.

There are "stick" fonts that I've used in Cambam. Another forum member got them into Path Pilot not too long ago I think.

Here's an example:

Turbocad uses a bunch of stick fonts. The main one I use is GDT.shx

The Cambam fonts look pretty good too though.

Guys thanks for the help!

The CamBam fonts worked quite well. The toolpath logic expects to see two lines in the font outline so it cuts each path twice but that's okay.

My .50 Beowulf now has its identity engraved on its sides. As soon as I open up the ejection port it will be ready to run!
