More newbie questions/inside edge routing and fonts

[djarboe]

Well, it didn't take me long to come back to this forum. I am trying to design an oval piece with a recessed center and some text. OK, that seems pretty straight forward. However, I would like the inside edge of the oval to be routed with an ogee profile, not just a tapered surface. I can't seem to get the software to let me pick the bit on the inside oval. Is there a way to do this? Clearly, I'm missing something here.

Fonts: I noticed there is a fairly short list of fonts available for text. Am I missing something here also? Can the software somehow use my Windows TrueType fonts?

Try making a Oval and put an OG. trim around it,
then the same size oval again as a cut path.
Make another smaller oval inside the first and again
trim it with an OG bit, make the same size oval as a carve Region
And add your Raster Text.

Here's .mpc file to try it with.

Ps. You can use all the Text Font that are on computer, and add more any time you want

Yup, that works... Thanks!

Also, I did see that all my Windows fonts are available. I was just scrolling through them so fast that it looked like a short list... duh.
