Engraving fonts.

Our programs have a large number of specially developed engraving fonts. As opposed to outline fonts (TrueType, Type1, etc.) obtainable in large quantities, engraving fonts are specially developed for recessed gravure. They are either single line for the economic and rapid gravure or multi-lined (2, 3, 4 track etc.). Multi-line fonts are required for both large versal heights (large symbol height) and also for better representation of fonts with variable stroke width.
 
The production of engraving fonts is very costly in time and these can be used only for a limited circle of clients. Nevertheless we offer our font package at an extremely favourable price. The fonts developed for our milling and engraving programmes can be used only together with our programs. A conversion into standard formats is for technical reasons  not possible.
 
On the market you can obtain individual fonts with the designation  'Single line', 'Engraving font' or similar in TrueType format. These are, in reality, no single-track fonts as TrueType allows only closed contours.
 
 

Left, a normal outline font, the symbol is circumscribed. This font has been created for printing applications and is unsuitable for engraving tasks. Right, a specially developed single line font  for engraving tasks. Windows TrueType fonts format can save Outline only.
