I was searching for some sites to aid my CDI problem (Corel Drawing Impairment) and ran across the site linked. Seems to be a fairly good resource.

Thanks, Mike, that does look like a good site. With all the fonts available, it does raise questions in this newbie's mind. For example, will they all carve properly (using Centerline) with the "V" bits (90/60)? Maybe it's a trial and error procedure? Can one use other bits to carve fonts? For example, a 1/4" bull nose?

Thanks,

Fonts (at least in my experience) is trial and error. Router Jim had a good example of what might be expected in a post yesterday.

I grabbed a font off the site called Burnstown Dam but it looks like it would be quite a test for the machine. Looking at it again this morning I'm thinking it may be too tough to carve. Any of you more experienced folks have an opinion? If anyone tries it I'd sure like to know how it went for you.

Those sites are out there and easy to find. Basically all you need to do is google Dingbats
