If you use G53 these are absolute machine coordinanates relative to the zero return position.

e.g. G53 x-5. y-5. z-5.

And this is your standard work offset

G54 x0 y0 z0

You will have to drop the file into a 3d CAM system and generate the code, then mach will run the code.

You need to use a single line font or pocket the font out.
