Another source for single line fonts: http://onelinefonts.com/

I have not tested any of those with MoI myself though.

This is a brief report on the 9 "1CamBam_Stick" fonts, which were installed in the windows fonts directory.

Several links in this thread indicate that "stick" or "single_line" fonts do not have all of the requirements of True Type fonts, so
the performance limitations below are not a MoI problem, but rather a non-TruType problem.

Using one of these fonts in MoI, with the command "Draw Solid"/ Text, on a windows computer, gave the following results:

These 9 fonts work OK in the "Curve" mode, and print OK. A few special symbols are missing, like ~@#%^*_{} and the Bold setting is not single line.

These 9 fonts do not work properly in the "Solid" mode, nor in the "Surface" mode.

The Site plan created in MoI on top of an aerial photo, captured as a PNG and quickly modified in Paint.net, was approved by the county :-)

In the future I'll use a true type font, but in the MoI Curve mode, for better printing of the text.

Hi Brian,

That's great news it was approved!

And yes, with these particular kinds of fonts it is expected that they would only work for creating curves and not for constructing surfaces or solids - the fonts are formed in a non-standard way such that they do not form a closed path which is normally how font outlines are supposed to be constructed. You have to have a closed path in order to build a surface or solid.
