DANCAD Font Files

Do any of you know where I can find font files to load into
DANCAD3D? I know, I know, there are better "auto CAD's" out there
but DANCAD has been working very well for me with Hans Wedemeyer's
cheap and powerful stepper driver boards (easy to build too). I am
not "smart" enough to understand all the various file formats I read
about here so the "standard" DANCAD font files would be most helpful.
By the way, I am using DANCAD on an old $25 ALR 486 machine in DOS,
driving BIG motors on a SMithy 3-in-1 that has been
extensively "tuned up." I get much better than .001 accuracy, scary
repeatability, and am familiar with how to use the DANCAD and
DANCAM. My next project is to build an ACCURATE engraving table (4x5
ft.) and build Mr. Kulaga's DRO for the Smithy. I hope to get "good"
enough some day to attempt the closed loop CNC available if using
Linux but am not ready for that step yet. I wrote to Dan about
selling me the font files and he never responded. Help!!!
