Dave,
That is what I am looking for. I'd prefer one that isn't quite so angular. But beggars can't be choosers. Unless someone else has something similar but smoother I'll be using this one.
Thanks for taking the time to point it out.

If you'd fill out your profile, you might make it easier for us to help you. For instance, if you have Vision, Newing-Hall, Hermes, Xenetech or most any other windows based mechanical engraver, use your engraving font and copy into Corel. Better yet, if you have one of those, why not run your laser direct from it?
To illustrate, I've attached a file that came straight from Xenetech's Gothic font (copy/pasted into Corel). This took all of 15 seconds. Tell us what you like/dislike and it will take another 15 seconds to select another engraving font.

Thanks Roy.
Unfortunately, I don't have a mechanical engraver so I don't have the fonts. I appreciate your taking the time to do this for me. The font that you picked will work fine for me.

Roy,
Now my customer wants to add the words "TWENTYNINE PALMS" (no quotes, all caps) and "2/7" (again, no quotes) in the same font . Can I impose on you to *translate* those into the single line font?
Thanks,
Bill

See if the attached will work.
I can't remember how large I made the other. Let me know if this doesn't work.

Thank you, Roy. I can resize it to fit. That is what I did for the OOHRAH. In fact, on that word they wanted progressively larger letters so I had to break it into individual letters, size them, and place them back together to make a word. >.< This should be easier. :D

I need to impose on you once again. My customer now wants another plaque with some additional wording in the Xenetech, gothic.fnt. Can you provide me the following text in that font and in a cdr format?
FOX COMPANY. (Yes, there is a period)
Illegitimus Non Corborundum
ILLEGITIMUS NON CORBORUNDUM
Thanks,
Bill

I've attached a Corel 9 file which has three separate lines(curves).
I couldn't recall how large we made them before, but you should be able to scale to fit what you need. Let me know if this isn't quite what you need
