I'm usinf Pro/e + pro man. I'm looking for fonts that are "stick figure" style single line strokes.

I have already added all my windows truetype fonts to my proe library, but they have thickness, and need to be pocketed and profiled. I am looking for fonts that have no thickness.

I don't even know what they would be called.

there are more fonts on the web than i could ever imagine, but I have not seen any single stroke.

Thanks, Dan

I think you are looking for vector fonts. From: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/gnu/6.53/Hershey.htm

The Hershey Fonts:
- are a set of more than 2000 glyph (symbol) descriptions in vector
( point-to-point ) format
- can be grouped as almost 20 'occidental' (english, greek,
cyrillic) fonts, 3 or more 'oriental' (Kanji, Hiragana,
and Katakana) fonts, and a few hundred miscellaneous
symbols (mathematical, musical, cartographic, etc etc)
- are suitable for typographic quality output on a vector device
(such as a plotter) when used at an appropriate scale.
- were digitized by Dr. A. V. Hershey while working for the U.S.
Government National Bureau of Standards (NBS).
- are in the public domain, with a few caveats:
- They are available from NTIS (National Technical Info.
Service) in a computer-readable from which is *not*
in the public domain. This format is described in
a hardcopy publication "Tables of Coordinates for
Hershey's Repertory of Occidental Type Fonts and
Graphic Symbols" available from NTIS for less than
$20 US (phone number +1 703 487 4763).
- NTIS does not care about and doesn't want to know about
what happens to Hershey Font data that is not
distributed in their exact format.
- This distribution is not in the NTIS format, and thus is
only subject to the simple restriction described
at the top of this file.

yes, thanks.

I still have not found a set that I can download and unzip (without unix). and I don't know if proe will recognize them, but that's the style I'm looking for.

This isn't a true font set but it works.
I made up an alphabet with numbers etc., in a dxf format to copy and paste
Check it out, makes a decent job.
I hope I'm not out of line posting in this thread.
I used a .07" bit on a .5" character and it looks good enough for me.
I'm attaching the set with simple instructions.
Let me know if it helps.
