Much better to be a Sawdust King than a pretty firewood king.... With failed projects....

Well, piffle! Still no joy. I have tried using the modern and arial fonts, changing text to centerline and even holding my right ear with my left hand and my left foot in the air... Everything comes out beautiful except for the text in the logo. Is there any way I can change the depth on it?VMFA-251.mpc

Small text IS a real problem for this machine in MY opinion. I have dealt with it also and it has been mostly a fail...
It comes down to RESOLUTION of the 3 Servo Axis in MY opinion. Think of it as a FAT Lead Pencil... trying to do fine text....
It comes down to the lines on the SERVO ENCODERS.... The Thinner the lines the finer the RESOLUTION. The THICKER the lines on the Encoder Disk the bigger the text must be to work.
I have kept my old 912 Rotary Engraver for just such a project. as it can do very small text very well. Like small name tags.

Hi JR, you didn't say whether you have conforming vectors. Combined with Center line, Arial black should do the trick:
In your last example the small text isn't set for "Arial Black", and Centerline.

Yes, I have conforming text. After trying it and Arial Black, I can't get the desired effect. Sorry it took me so long to answer. I am more than a little frustrated over this and I took the afternoon off. I leave for DC in the morning but will try one more time. Maybe making the pattern larger will give me the desired results.
