Non-outline font

[jimcobber (James Cobb)]

I need to print some very small text. I’d like to just use the width of the laser beam and not do an outline of each letter. Is this possible?

What you seek is using the SHX fonts, single line fonts that are available in LightBurn.

A post on the forum to provide some explanation:

Single line fonts

Hi, The process for using SHX fonts is very simple: Download SHX fonts from the Internet to the computer, to a folder [shx 2021-01-08 17.16.58] In LightBurn > Settings, select the computer’s font folder [select-folder-fonts] Close and reopen LightBurn Open or create a project and write a text. Expand the font selector and select one marked as SHX. [dhx_fonts_lightburn] Thanks to the guys at LightBurn for creating this great software.

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. [shx] Link to folder: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mlj55zcb1qff8u5/AADkQQpnFJ7VXcyld5UA2jqha?dl=0
