Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Source for Single Line Egraving Fonts???

I thought you always had to use the "Install New Fonts" option from the menu bar
before they would show up anywhere.
Sorry if this has been mentioned, I did not follow this thread too well. I have
quite a few stick and line fonts with my SignLab but they are not ttf. I can
create fonts from scratch too but not save them as ttf.
What I do have I can engrave all day long untill I am Blue in the face ! I guess
thats why I paid over $2k for this stuff.
(no "exploding" them either!)

Bummer I guess?
