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.
Hi Nail, it’s very simple. Place the library itself in e.g. … / laser / shx-fonts and in LightBurn you just refer to this directly under the shx fonts settings. This library does not need to be installed.
SHX Fonts are not nativly supported in macOS and thus FontBook. They are supported in LightBurn. You only need to tell LightBurn where you have these SHX font files and LightBurn will load them and make them available from the ‘Font List’ drop-down.
Note my font list (I posted above) displayed in LightBurn. You will see the “Type of Font” shown on the left to help spot these SHX Fonts.
The other thing of note is my file naming convention. I changed the name of every SHX font I use frequently by adding “1_” to the front of the original font name, [changed “ARCHFAST.SHX” to “1_ARCHFAST.SHX”]. This name change change has no effect in font performance, only changes the sorting order to place these fonts at the top of my list.
