Special fonts for the CNC Plasma Cutter?

I have a project in mind that I wish to cut out on the metal CNC table in the near future. Two items, I’m looking for a special font and would like to know if we already have a library of special fonts available? If not, I will purchase the font. Second item, can I cut it out of copper? I have not taken the class, just now starting down the metal shop road on the 20th.

Thanks,

Paul

You can use whatever program to create the DXF or SVG. Be cautious with Illustrator as it can cause some wonky stuff. Yes you can cut copper on it. Ive doneit before.

I use Inkscape. The program has quite a few.

Not all are equal…

This one would be a tough one to cut out for sure… https://www.uglygerry.com/

I’m looking for an art deco type font. Making a lit address plaque for the house. Going with copper for the green patina. Maybe then Amazon will stop delivering my neighbors packages to me…
