In sketch is it possible to get windows text fonts as single thickness?

A handful of years have gone by since I asked the question on whether it was possible to either generate your own 2D text style font or import this from an outside source.

By any chance has this become easier to do?

My goal is to have a set of text characters that are matched to the text font used with our hand stamps.  The 3D characters do not machine correctly.

I did a lengthy Google search but couldn't find any solution.

I would think so but I have not tested that myself. The custom fonts I use are much more complex geometry and stylized. The only thing I use the Leroy font for is a pattern master for CNC engraving on some parts.

There are many free TTF fonts available you may find some worth testing for your application.

Check out the "thin" fonts at this site as an example :

Tbraxton:  I took a look at the linked fonts.  Century Gothic would be perfect.  The only problem is that in as much as what I can see the fonts have thickness, even though they are thin would not work well with CNC cutting.  It is a similar type of application of which you have mentioned using Leroy for the CNC pattern master.

I am assuming that using a font such as Century Gothic, even though it could be an exact match it would add a lot of CNC moves to fill in the thickness.

Hi,

AFAIK in TTF definition every character is defined using closed contours. Simple lines are forbidden.
