General Mach Discussion / Single Line Fonts (Stick Fonts).

« on: December 14, 2011, 10:20:10 AM »

‘Single line fonts’ is a subject that keeps coming up and has never really been resolved. Most if not all of the quality fonts are associated with their respective software programs and are not, in themselves, available separately.
The single line TTF fonts available with CamBam were separated at some time or another and although they are perhaps not for commercial use without license they do crop up on various sites with a download option. This is one such site http://www.mrrace.com/CamBam_Fonts/ (thanks to G.R.)

My mistake, I thought you may have gone the whole hog and updated to R3 043 022.

OK bit the bullet and upgraded to R3.042.022 and it's still broken. Pretty please?

Hi Ian,

That's either a typo or else you haven't upgraded at all.

I wonder if Mach3 version 4 will make secret little, identifiable, alterations to our work ??

Hi f45,

You need to do a search but there are plenty of threads here concerning the setup and operation of ATC's.

Yes, perhaps that would be the best way.
It is probably only just one switch that is causing the problem or possibly a loose connection to one switch.

Could be the switch contacts being affected by vibration.
