Also a wish made for future software updates...

If you drew a letter outline with a pencil, the carving is always inside that outline. Works fine for reversed, but subtracts 1/16" x 2 = 1/8 in from the width of the carving on the non-reversed. If there are narrow parts on the letters as with Times, they are carved to nothing.
The unfortunate thing is that the bit cuts/carves down the CENTER of the cut path. That is why the letters seem smaller. One of the wishes I made LONG ago is that the carver be allowed to determine the cut path (inside, outside, or down the center of the line).
