Ok, I think I found out what is going on, with the single line text issue. The Text is actually all good.

What is happening, is, Inkscape is trying to close the loop, on the text.

Have a look at the attached dxf file, look at the letter "e", Inkscape closed the loop (joined the starting point, with the ending point).

The font I used was "Machine Tool Gothic", with no edits or hand tracing.

So, it does work, it just works toooo good...

Just couriuus, did the Stick Font to gcode program ever pan out as to being able to use different fonts. I did like the way it worked, just wondering.

I have it working in Inkscape (single line text), same file as above only I did a small edit to the letter "e", all inside of Inkscape.

Works good, now.

I'll post how I did it, in a while.

I've had a few others, ask about Linux & OSX. I don't think anyone has had any luck adding my extension to anything other than Windows XP & Vista.

I only run XP, so I have no way to test with any other OS.

Gravy,

Here is a single line font Machine Tool Gothic & a video/tutorial (no sound) that I made, I went thru it kinda fast, but once you understand how to do a single letter/number the rest will go quick for you.

I had to post the video on mediafire, I tried to upload here on cnczone (didn't work) the .zip file is less than 7.0mb, uploads here max out at 8.58mb, who knows?

It's like I said a couple post back, Inkscape is closing the loop on the font, so just find the starting Node, & ending Node, then delete the line between them.

If you download one of the fonts from the link above, just drag it into your fonts folder (Win XP), & If Inkscape is open, make sure to close Inkscape, then re-open Inkscape, so the font will show up inside of Inkscape fonts list.

Panther_usa,

Your more than welcome to use/edit the files, that's what makes open source programs like Inkscape so great

ghostlx,

This is the best I can get the dxf from your jpeg image. The larger/sharper the image, the better the results get, also bitmaps work better than jpeg, hope it helps.

Sounds like a good idea. :cheers:
