Individual lines have been separated out: For example, the letters below are the P and Q from the CNC Vector font. Unfortunately, some fonts have doubled-up but different lines which makes it impossible to simply delete duplicates (even after exploding). Make sure to "explode" (a Rhino term) all lines into individual segments, since some overlapping segments are joined to each other. If the doubled-up lines are identical, then it's easy to remove them by using a command like Rhino's "Select duplicates". I use Rhinoceros for all my design work, so this page is written from that perspective, but most of the information is generally applicable.

Unfortunately, they seem unique to that software and nothing else will open them.
#VECTORIZE FONT HOW TO#
closed fonts, how to remove double lines in Inkscape. There's a "pro" version which has extra editing capabilities. The fonts appear similar to Machine Tool or Hershey. A free font pack is available which adds extra fonts. The free version has basic tools to set size, spacing, angle, curve etc. It will generate either a DXF file or G-code toolpath for whatever text you enter. Some seriously neat free software - "StickFont".Other pages with fonts, software, how to remove double lines, etc.
When I was going through them, I discovered some that I'd forgotten all about! Useful links I've come across loads of different fonts, all over the place, and reckoned it would be useful to have them all on one page for reference. The same applies to routing, milling, water-jet cutting, and many other engraving/marking processes. Or you can use a single-line font, and simply use the laser beam to "draw" along the path, forming a smooth letter. You could raster a normal font (shading in the black areas) but this would take time. For example, suppose you have a laser cutter and want to mark text on something. Single-line fonts (also called engraving fonts, technical lettering fonts, pen plotter fonts) are hugely useful when performing machining or drawing operations. In addition to the Hershey extension, they have an excellent overview of what exactly a single-line font is and how it compares to "outline" fonts. Go and read Evilmadscientist's page on their Hershey text extension for Inkscape. Summary of single-line fonts (10/01/15) What's a single-line font?
