Re: Source for Single Line Egraving Fonts???

Hi Rick,

Something's funny here! I put the new fonts in the windows/fonts
directory (windoz98), but I can't see them by any program I run
(Vector's CNC fonts, and two Elven fonts, maybe more?)! I have noticed
that fonts I know I see in my apps give a "sharing violation" (the
file's in use) if I try to examine them with debug.exe, while the "new"
fonts (that I don't see) don't! Anybody know of a "font editor"
program? Debug also shows the text "OS/2" in the first part of the
file. What's with this?

Looked at stick40.ttf, it is visible to apps, and also gives "sharing
violation", however I can copy it to s.x and then "debug s.x" to examine
it. Works in Vector and DeskEngrave.

I assume you mean .DXF files? Yes, I have used DeskEngrave to generate
DXF and Gcode files directly.

Solid Edge ANSI does a "double line" font. Looks useful.
