How to convert a double-line letter into a single-line letter?

[Ziomek (Ziemowit)]

This is about laser engraving.

How can I convert entire double-lined texts into single-lined texts for each letter, using different fonts? I need to print and engrave very small, thin texts.

The photo shows a double line for each letter.

Look into SHX fonts and how to set them up.

SHX Font Collection

Now we have SHX Fonts available I have put together 44 single line fonts into a folder. I’m happy to make the folder of fonts available (dropbox link) if this is allowed and if anyone wants them.

convert entire double-lined texts into single-lined texts

That’s possible for Text generated within LightBurn: double-click the text and use the text editor box that will pop up.

However, if those shapes were imported from another program through an SVG / DXF file, they’re (almost certainly) paths with no connection to the text / font that produced them in the other program. In that case you cannot change the font within LightBurn, because the shapes are not Text.

This was very good support. I received what I needed. Thank you very much.

I’d also like to ask if there’s a table of materials and machine parameters that need to be pre-set. Is there a sample file for these SHX fonts?
Can I help you in any way?
