So can you please help me here. > If you have the fonts in the tgz file, you can use them.... I suggest expanding the tar file into the same place you have the python program installed. The command is "tar -xzvf cxf_fonts.tgz" ... looking at the tar file it will create a subdirectory called cxf_fonts. Then if you edit the engrave11.py file, you can change line 36 to point to a default font that you like. something like fontfile = "/home/dave/cxf_fonts/romanc.cxf" The other option is to install qcad... it can be quite useful for doing part drawings. There are several dxf to gcode converters around that can be used with the qcad drawing files and emc. cheers LawrenceG Hi Lawrence OK may be I should download Qcad, I'm a bit reticent at the moment, could be something else to go wrong, it's fine if you are a computer buff, I'm not so you can understand my apprehension. It's 4am in the morning here, so I'm going to bed. Tomorrow is another day. Really appreciate your help.
