Your .DXF file makes things much clearer.
This you would not do with normal engraving software.
Do you want to engrave just the boundary lines that are in your .DXF file, or do you want to pocket out the interior or exterior of the letters. Such as the license plate in my web site photos. If you pocket the letters, then the cutter diameter will determine the corner radius.
To just do the outlines write a BASIC program to translate the data in the .DXF to G-code G01 commands.
Since you indicated this is a hobby project it is obvious that you do not want to spend money. Thus, the outline method will be your choice. But if you want the program written for you, then we could do any of the options for several hundred dollars.
