Neophyte Trying to Engrave Text Using Inkscape
I am trying to engrave this text on to some Christmas ornaments I made with a laser engraver (or rather cutter in this case, I guess).
I know enough to know that you should engrave text using single line text such as the Hershey Text Renderer built into Inkscape, but surely there must be SOME way to engrave text using other fonts like this. I have never used the gcodetools extension for Inkscape before, but no matter what I try, all I am getting is really large bubble letters that obscure the intended text. Is there any way that I can do this?
I am designing on a linux laptop, so I prefer linux software, but the computer controlling the CNC is windows, so I am willing to use anything that will get this done. I will appreciate any help, tips or advice you can offer. Thank you.
