Well, at least the sample on the first page is not a "stick 
font".  It has line width.  For simple engraving of nameplates 
and instrument panels, a font with "zero" width is faster to 
cut, it is always done with a single "stroke" of the cutting 
tool.  Bobcad has a built-in stick font, bot anything it creates 
from an external font has width.  Cutting these things on a 
low-RPM spindle machine like a mill is slow enough already 
without having to carve out the middle of the strokes.
