did everyone know that with desk engrave you can use any windows true type font and it will create a dxf or g-code file for you. i have been using this software for a long time and i found out that i can download dingbats(picture fonts ) and desk engrave will convert them to dxf or g-code. you wouldnt beleive the font pictures you can find on the net. this is basically the only program i need to make programs for my engraving machine. also someone asked about making two line of text. if you download k-kam and use desk engrave to make each line seperate then load it into your cad sofware and move the words around then save it as dxf. load it into k-kam and it will convert your dxf into g-code and even lets you scale it and move it as you wish. and if you register k-kam you can then save these files to be used on your other sofware. it sounds like alot but rally these are very useful softwares that i have found work very well together.
