There is a small program (600kb) that will use any TTF and convert it
into either a dxf or a dnc file in either an arc or a straight line.

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?

You dont really compile python programs they
To add, when I run Engrave11, the GUI comes up, but there is only
"QUIT" on the bottom and not "Sendto ... and Quit" as on the webpage.
It does not generate Gcode and the text doesnt appear in the cursored
Window.

Thanks Lawrence.
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?

If you would have reported the problem with TTT, someone
I cannot use EMC as it does not support my Isel's Gcode.
All my work is 2-dimensional so i can program very quickly writing
directly in GCODE and just sending the file to the ISEL.
I would like to use EMC of course, but it doesnt support ISEL.
I just dont like to program fonts...aarggh, therefore
Yes, I already tried that program but it fails after execution.

Chris wrote a program that uses true type fonts as input. You have
thousands of tt fonts available. It basically generates gcode or dxf
instructions that define the perimeter of a filled true type font. For
engraving, sometimes you want the fonts filled and can do that by
importing the dxf file int

Thanks Lawrence,
There isn't something that can do a bit more fancy fonts?
I need to engrave a logo close as possible to Arial where letters about
20mm high.
