I added a stroke reduced version of the single stroke sans font. The font does not look at preferential direction, but tries to minimize path-length and pen-up/down. However, it will never retrace a stroke, not even a partial retrace. Testing the difference on "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" results in a reduction of the rapid path with ~26% and a reduction of the feed path with ~2% because of pen-down reduction. The number of pen-up/downs decreased ~10%. The run-time was only slightly faster (49s vs 52s), but that is just on a simulation. A real mill/router will see some larger difference. -- Greetings Bertho (disclaimers are disclaimed) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
