A font with a .shx extension is single line.
I'm trying to engrave large 2.5" letters with the pre-set TORMACH engraving fonts on my 770..
But, the pre-set fonts will mill around the outside of each letter, and then around the inside of each letter, creating two lines.
I don't want that.
I would like only a single line for each letter, so I can use a ballnosed endmill down center of each letter.
How do I correct this?
I've tried every font, and they all use inside/outside dual lines for the lettering.
HELP!!!!!

You just need a single line font, there are a few. I use the one that came with Rhino, its good for part numbering etc. and I use some specialized ones as well. that I found on the web.

THANKS PopsPipes!!
I installed STICKFONT V1.1 on my old, beat up laptop, and it worked great!
Easy to install, and very easy & basic software to use.
Saves your text right to G-code.
Thanks a bunch!
Youre welcome sir!
I use single line for part numbers on small parts that I make.
