    Cambam lets you use any font on the pc, I just tried it last weekend.....I used a pocket then profile operation rather than the engrave option (probably the wrong way, I am just learning this stuff)

    This is a picture of the type of thing I am trying to achieve. I use solidworks and solidcam. The lettering in the picture is only 5mm in height.

    CamBam also has a V engrave plugin that can be used with Windows fonts for example, https://www.atelier-des-fougeres.fr/.../Vengrave.html
    It also has a plugin to fit text onto a Polyline, https://www.atelier-des-fougeres.fr/...nPolyline.html
    There are some single line fonts for engraving here, https://www.atelier-des-fougeres.fr/...tickfonts.html
    Spelling mistakes are not intentional, I only seem to see them some time after I've posted
