Are you looking for something specific Gary? There are many options but you have to dig for each case... I don´t think there is a package or something like that...

Good Morning



Does anyone know of a good source for specific fonts for engraving? I am
looking for DIN 1451 to engrave a mould component for VW and they are always
fussy about what font you use.



While I can find dozens of DIN 1451 fonts on the web they don't all match up
to the DIN spec exactly, and they are really intended for printing (ie the
full outline of the letter as opposed to a single line) whereas we have
always found that the easiest way to do this is with "Cosmetic Groove" and
then choose a font like "Leroy" which is a single line.



Any suggestion on an easier way to machine the full outline font would also
be welcome.
