Scott,
In the CAM side define tool and then select tool for your engraving
work.
Then select the Engraving icon, third up from bottom
In the top of the dialog box there is a check box for Simple Fonts.
Click this and then select the drop down arrow at the side of Name.
You will get a list of all the stick fonts available. Selecting any
of these will get you a preview of what the font looks like in the
window below.
The rest of the dialog box is the same as using true type in as much
as where you need to place the type, on an arc, profile, inside ,
outside, mirrored etc.
