Text different in Sheetcam - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

I was playing around with a program that creates DXF files to load into Sheetcam. Whenever I add text to the DXF with any font and then load it into Sheetcam, the font style is different but the same each time. Does the DXF file save the type of text font used in the file? Or does the cad program have to convert the text that was added to lines instead?

Thanks!

I got the answer already. Les at Sheetcam.com told me that the text has to be broken down into line segments. I'm playing around with some software in Visual Basic to do this now.
