Engraving Font Resolution

Does anyone know how to change the font resolution when engraving? I use the "font" in the drop down menu which gives the text single line to follow when using a single point tool. The problem from an aesthetic point of view is that when the font gets large say .500"or larger the round curves of say a "0" or "P" ect. get pointed or not a nice round look to them. Is there a way to change the smoothing of the line somehow? Tried to with no luck.

Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff,

Try the leroy font. It gives you nice rounded O and 0 for engraving. I have my level of detail set very high and they still look pointy with font or isofont.

You can change your level of detail (lod) in your options or environment. Tools, options or tools, environment.

Fonts are just line segments defined in a grid of 63x63. The default font uses 16x16 grid where as Leroy used the full 63x63. Unfortunately TrueType, does not allow single line fonts.
