    Fonts

    Don, is it possible to import other fonts into Excalibur. If so, how do I do it. I would like to import a font called Serpentine.

    Greig,

    Excalibur uses any True Type font found on your PC provided it is located where all your windows fonts are registered. Put your font in the Windows Font folder and you should be able to use it.

    Don, with engraving text, it always seems to convert text to curves with an outline around the text. Is that due to the font I use.
    Sometimes I want to just have single line text. How do I achieve this. Is it a font or another command I have to use.

    Thanks in advance

    All true type fonts are bounded fonts. They are made from closed bondaries. The Excalibur Default font is an internal font that is single stroke...you can use this but its not real pretty.

    I think Merlin is right. Virtual Gibbs created their own font for this reason, called Moorpark or something like that.
