    Do I need to purchase HP GL/2 card for new HP 500 plotter

    I, or actually the company , just bought an HP 500, great plotter works like a charm, mind you I'm using TurboCAD but as far as the plotter configuration goes it should be the same.

I've heard a couple of people say they're good but I don't have any personal experience with them. If you go to their output devices page, the 7550a is...

    Font for Laser cutting

    Any luck yet, I was looking for a script type font that was all joined also, it's a real pain to have to explode the text and adjust/add radii. The stencil fonts are good but I wanted something a little more script like. I don't have the luxury of a laser, I've go to use plain 'ole propane...
