Can anybody recommend a good source for free / low cost fonts well suited to the laser cutter, or for that matter other CNC cutters in the Makerspace?
I’m looking for a nice variety of fonts which are defined as a single pixel or line wide, so that they can be quickly laser cut partway through material in vector-mode. It seems difficult to find a similar free variety as can be found for computer display rendering.
These look promising, but it seems there has to be more options hiding out there somewhere:

These look hopeful, but can quickly get expensive:

Also, can anybody talk to the Hershey Text extension for InkScape? Since I don’t know InkScape, I’m wondering about learning curves vs benefits…
