This may be a different topic but related. I've had succes engraving with the cambam font set until 0.19 was released. Now they often leave out parts of letters. I haven't found a problem on this topic. Is it that the fontset is poorly formed or what? I know they only work once you have the right po...

Thanks for your help. Found the 1cambam line fonts & am working with them. Also have learn't heaps more with FreeCAD font cutting since these days.

thanks heaps. I'll give it a go.

I should also say I'm using up to a 4 mm milling bit & cutting 2.5 mm deep. In another project I'm using 30 & 60 degree carbide straight single flute engraving tools & cutting 0.2 mm to 0.6 mm deep. these last tools I'm not even sure how to load the tool into the tools list.

In this situation I'm doing plaques for a men's shed & it includes shapestrings & sketch boarders, plus some special sketches. This is my starting point as the shed is doing it currently, Oh so crudely, on the cnc router machine. Eventually I'm want to do 3D carving but 2D is sufficient for ...

I'm a beginner & need help. I have a sketch that I want FreeCAD to create 2D gcode so as to do CNC engraving. I seam to only find 3D engraving. At present I'm exporting to dxf format & using Pycam to create the Gcode. This has it's own problems in that the way Pycam imports/interprets the Au...

Thanks for that. It's really helpful. In the meantime I have found a string font for it. I wish there were more sting fonts around.

Thanks folks.
Yeah you're right. It's Brie Light.
I'll give that a go with the downgrade. though I was hoping to have a simpler approach but it looks like it's the best i can get for now.

Yeah. I've been hunting google for days but without any luck. Right now i'm reverting to making the pencil line (string or stick font) myself. An interesting & time consuming exercise to say the least.

Thanks for all that. It has been useful to point me in another direction to explore except other people external to the current machine, that I can't contact currently have used the Brie Lite ttf, or similar. I have to make plaques to match using a 'stick' type font which I can't seam to find & ...
