    Single Line Fonts

    This may not be the place to ask this question, but I am somewhat lost in this forum.

    I have a cnc plasma cutter which I use to cut text,etc. Recently I finished a cnc router running Mach2. I am trying to locate a single line type font to use with it.

    I notice on www.luberth.com there are some examples from Gravomaster, whoever that is.

    Does anyone know where there is a single line font available cheap?

    Thanks,

    Single Line Fonts

    Dick,
    I haven't been able to find very many single line fonts.
    But I've had many customers that needed the Single Line Font look. So what I've done to get around this problem, is lie to the software. I choose the font. Then find the narrowest spot of the font i'm going to use, and measure this width. And I use this measurement as the tool diameter (and your tool should be this size physically or any diameter down to half this measurement). I then just create a pocket inside each letter and usually it will only need to make one pass on the inside of your text.
