If you still have other systems on there, and you just want to get at
the files, then you can use commands of the form :
sudo mkdir /mnt/olddisk (only need to do this once)
sudo mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/olddisk (/dev/hda is the partition you
want to mount)

The above comes with it'a own "stick" font, but I don't use that.
Instead I use TT fonts that are very "thin".

Ok, I just got confused with clipboard which is a windows thing.
If it is just the paste-buffer then I understand it in Unix.
Is there any way to scale the fonts larger.
I tried your x,y scale fields but they do nothing I could see.
Anyway to scale a font to say 25mm high?

I missed the Fontfile import for Engrave11.
I am pretty sure that will work if I can use fonts from Linux fontservers.
How do you compile a Python program again?

EMC2 simply generates pulses. Each pulse rotates the shaft a specific
number of degrees. The direction signal controls which way the motor
turns. Typically there is a controller chip that handles this.

Hi Dave.
Yes, for stepper motor machines, emc creates a pulse for each and every
incremental motion of the motors -- a typical machine might have 8000
pulses per inch, and that machine moving at 2 inches per second would
generate 16000 pulses per second.
After interpreting the gcode, the details
