Hi Gunter,
So 1 more thing to clarify...
In this post here:

You have a picture of "this is the effect i am after"
So zoom in on the "T"....
That is not "a depth". That is a variable depth controlled by how far the 20° bit can drop into the pocket of the font at any given point.
For this, we need to adjust the actual geometry of the font/letters and then determine what you want to call "depth".
The other option mentioned is a stick font, or a centerline path on your letters. This can be an engrave with your vbit at a set, controlled depth. (I don't know vectric well enough to know whether a centerline engrave path can also be 3d (z values), to have a variable depth to the engrave.
But anyway, an easy way to achieve the centerline path, without modeling it, can be to generate a vcarve as is now, then you can run the gcode through something like gcode2dxf. This will give you the vcarve toolpath as centerline geometry. Now you can run your engrave at the desired depth on your imported centerline
