Indeed!
Even after installing the font, the “text” has been converted to shapes and is no longer editable. The C00 layer is set to Fill, rather than Offset Fill, and behaves pretty much as expected: full-width scans along the X axis.
Setting it to Offset Fill shows several long motions while filling chunks of the pattern, but the doc cautions:
Offset Fill is intended for designs with a lot of space in between graphics, to cut down on the amount of travel time necessary to fill large, hollow shapes. If that description does not apply to your graphics, it’s best to use Fill instead of Offset Fill.
Those letters definitely do not consist of “large hollow shapes”, so I think the old saying applies: If it hurts when you do that, *don’t do that".
With that in mind, the “k” seems to be done as part of the “3½ Cups Flour” and “sugar / salt / oil” block, all of which the photo shows are slightly misaligned with respect to the “400 Degrees” and “yeast” below.
This resembles other problems that turned out to be:
- The controller’s file memory is just about full, causing all manner of odd problems.
- A USB problem garbling that block of data on its way to the Ruida controller
Things to try:
- Delete all the old files from the controller. The LightBurn doc has some suggestions or you can do it directly from the controller’s display.
- If you’re using USB, switch to Ethernet. A lengthy discussion of some pitfalls will guide you.
Protip: use cardboard until you are certain it works, then do one more on cardboard just be sure.
