Default font program for Anilam 1100

I am looking for a program that I can engrave letters and numbers
using my Anilam 1100 control.

This is for my home shop so cost is a issue.

Thanks,

Tim

Default font program for Anilam 1100

I don't know about the anilam code requiremments but I wrote a quick
program to convert Windows TrueType font information into an outline
path. This was for an old CNC Beavermill with fanuc controller. I proved
it worked then the mill left the next day and never got to use it in
anger. I could provide a copy and the source for MS VC 6.0. The type of
output it generated is as follows.

%
:0001
test
X-4.7Y-10.1F20
Z-20.0
Y-41.0
X-9.1
Z0.0
%

The :0001 is a program number
"test" is here the contents of a file containing header information used
for initialisation and I don't have it any more so this would need to be
sorted.
