AutoCAD (at least the old versions) comes with several fonts that are exactly as you described. When I type something with them outside of Autocad, the line weight seems to scale with the font size. When I type them in Autocad, the line weight is consistent with whatever line weight settings I'm using. I'm not sure how Corel will handle these fonts; it may try to outline the font or it may just follow the stroke.

These fonts include "TXT", start with "ROMAN", or start with "ISO", among other ones.

If Corel can't work with these fonts the way you want, then perhaps you could type your text in Autocad on one of the Autodesk workstations, explode it, save it as a DXF file, then import to Corel?

I found a font, called Simplex, that does exactly what I wanted. I tried to post a link, but the forum said that the post had to be reviewed before it would show that particular reply.

The trick will be that Corel considers the font to be the same as any other, which means each letter is a closed curve with a fill and an outline, even when the filled area is thinner than 'hairline'. I am going to hope that the laser does what it is supposed to do and will interpret a thin area like that as a vector instead of a raster. Does anyone have any guesses if it will work?

I will be in to use the laser on Sunday at 11am and will ask whomever is there to install that font for me. I saw that someone suggested a hack to get around the permissions, but I figure if the permissions are there they are there for a reason.

Thanks!

Matt
