I tried that one but I can only open it in a viewer.

Unzip the font and copy and paste it to your "Windows\Fonts" or "Winnt\Fonts" folder. After you paste the font file into the "Windows\Fonts" folder the font should be available to all of your Windows applications.

That worked!! I copied it into the directory then used the demo TTF to DXF. That worked out great. Thanks!!

This is wierd, I opened my engraving software so I could import the text and when I went through the fonts available, that one showed up now. Must be linked to the fonts on my computer some how.

WhooHoo! I'm glad to be part of the solution. Sometimes it's the little things...

And thanks to all those who posted links to the TTF to DXF conversion apps. The OutlineArt converter was one I hadn't seen before.

Most true Windows applications know to "look for" and have access to all of the fonts in the "%Windows%\Fonts" folder once they are there. You should be able to use the Lucida Calligraphy font in almost all of your applications now. Check it and see.
