Hello,

Font files need to be converted into Lua in order to be used within the Font Engrave wizard. I will ask around here and see if I can get my hands on the means to make some new fonts.

While we're on the subject, if you could make the text display window larger for the engraving wizard, that would be nice. Coming up the learning curve on CNC very fast now, the more I use Mach4 the more I like it.

Hello Ken,

You can adjust the height of the text by changing the value in the 'Height' box iun the Font Engrave wizard. The width will be calculated and shown below.

Best wishes,
Bryanna

I am very pleased with the Mach 4 that Craig, as well as everyone else that talked me through earlier this year! I am checking out different buttons all the time and working thrtough them. If I can get this font engrave to work my wife will smile again Ha Ha. Have cut a buync of test pieces to get the feel, now it is time for the real deal and i have trime to stay with it and do it.

I have tried diffefern bits with no success the font cuts and touches the previous letter no matter what dimension i use.

Any ideas please let me know.

Ken
