I have been using Corel Draw to design and import the dxf file to Mach3. Very easy to do but one annoying thing is it traces both sides of a line of text.
Is there a way to make it have a single stroke letter? I have tried all sorts of fonts and get the same result.

As someone said, download DeskEngrave.Exe and install it.
Now the Stick40 font is installed in the system.
In Corel Draw:
Enter the text in Stick40 font.
You might not be able to see the actual text. Just funny outlines, etc.
(At one point in time, I attempted to use Stick40 and when I saw that,
I quit using it.)
Select all text.
Fill>None
Stroke>Hairline
Arrange>Break Artistic Text Apart
Now the text should be visible. Each word will be separate from the rest.
Select all of the text blocks.
Arrange>Group
Now they can be moved, etc. as a unit.
You might want to copy %WINDIR%\Fonts\STICK40.TTF to another location
for re-installation if you uninstall DeskEngrave or your disk crashes.
