Hi All,

Does anybody have a good suggestion for a font type which is used for laser engraving. I think this means it has to be a single line font?

Anny suggestions?

We use "Modern" for single line machined engraving. Works well.

I'd suggest one of the Hershey fonts. They have more strokes than most other fonts, but that makes the text easier to read. Alternatively, you can convert any standard Windows (TrueType) to the NX font format by using the FontFactory utility.
