Normally, you will look under free fonts on google.

Put the fonts in the windows, Font folder with all other windows fonts.

Normally, edgeCam will find them.

Ok.
But i have many fonts in windows, but the Edgecam doesn have it.... Just 10 fonts or something in Edgecam...

Do anybody try this site? 1001 Free Fonts - Download Free Fonts for Windows and Macintosh

I copy all the fonts from windows to edgecam.. I can use them in edgecam, but i cant carve it out? i can`t mark it...

Why?

I'm not an EdgeCam user but in the book I have about it it says.

By default, the text is a bitmap text. When you choose the Burst outlines into curves button, the text will be converted to geometrical entities.

And you need truetype font in order to use it for engraving.

Check this little tutorial about engraving in Edgecam

Vector use text cycles
Truetype use slot
If you use cycles pick a tool first

Hello again...

I have tried and put the files in C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Planit \ Edgecam 2011 R1 \ Cam \ lib3dx \ intel_a \ Resources \ fonts
and all subfolders, but they do not come up in edgecam.

What do I do?
