After much hard work, I have finally been able to put together an installable font that will act as a single line font for use with your electronic cutting machines – and it is available right here!

The Story So Far

To explain the challenges faced in this process I would refer you to this blog post however needless to say I did not let this stop me in trying my hardest to create something that will work in the same way as a true single line font but it has taken some time and a lot of design know-how and hard graft.

Here are just some of the steps that I have taken to update, expand and refine the previous character designs

• Manually refined hundreds of vector nodes – making it a smooth path than the previous version.
• Created many special extended characters – to include accents above letters such as à ô î etc.
• Smoothed countless connecting lines – making it a more beautiful character set than before.
• Manually assigned characters to their Unicode locations – to ensure that what you type, is what you get.
• Manually adjusted the kerning of hundreds of pairs of characters – the majority of lower case characters will now automatically join from tail to tip.
• Created closed character shapes – the key step in making this an installable font.
• … and more!

Now, it is still NOT possible to have a true single line TTF font installed on your computer, however, to work around this, I have created closed character shapes where the outer edges are so close together that they will retrace their path when used with an electronic cutting machine, giving the visual appearance of a single line font.

Anyhoo, long story short, I am pleased to say that the results are awesome!

The Results

Here is a preview of how the font looks now.

Compatibility

Because this is an .OTF font it can be installed on most modern PCs.

Once installed, this font will be compatible with any software that can use .OTF font format. This includes Canvas Workspace, Make The Cut, Sure Cuts A Lot and Silhouette Studio.
