thread561-57916: UG Fonts
Is there was a way to add another font type other than "modern", I need this font type for engraving, and modern seems to be the only choice for a single line/curve font for our programming guys to create toolpaths on.
The modern text isnt very smooth, jagged joining lines etc...

However, if the above question was with respect to the fonts supported by the NX CAM 'Engraving' tool, that is something that you will have to take up with someone in the manufacturing group.

If you want to treat the characters like geometry, then you can create text features in CAD, and cut them with the point/curve drive method in surface contouring or whatever you like.
If you want to consider volume, for example pocket around the characters, then extrude the text features in to a solid, and cut however you want.

Try the Drafting font Latin_extended, it might look smoother. ( but still drawn by line segments.)
Try find the fonts that are created by Solid- Edge development. S-E has been using True Type fonts for many years on their drawings.
