Single Line Sketch Fonts for Cutting Machines
08 May 26 (11d ago)
When I was learning about cutting machines, I was excited to explore that it not only cuts but also writes/draws. Basically, instead of the blade tool, you can also insert a pen instead.
The only caveat is you need to buy a separate pen holder adopter. It's fine. But another caveat is silhouette doesn't have much of a presence in our region so the official accessories are hard to by.
Fast forward for a month and I was finally able to secure one (Type B and Type C pen holders). You can see more of it here.
So anyway, it does work out of the box though I have to get some gotchas because I was though my machine was acting up. You can see more notes here.
One of these notes are the fonts. To write a font like a regular person (? lol), it has to be a single line font. And you can't readily used a non single font otherwise you will have have just a letter with empty fill and a stroke.
So its either to create one or buy a dedicated single line font.
I'm trying to create one. Interestingly, Silhouette Studio has a Font Creation Tool, So instead of a bunch of SVG trying to combine together like a scrap book. You can use the Font Creation Tool to create one.
