Single-line (centerline) engraving of a serif font — how do I get solid single-stroke lettering without the tool tracing outlines?
I'm engraving text on a part in Fusion and I'm stuck on the font side
What I want: lettering in a serif font — ideally the Times New Roman look, with proper serifs and that thick/thin stroke contrast — engraved as a single centerline pass per stroke. Tool runs down the middle of each stroke once, clean solid lettering. **The problem:** any normal TrueType serif (Times New Roman etc.) is an outline font. Each letter is a closed filled shape, so the tool traces the *outline* of every stroke — I get hollow, double-lined letters instead of a single stroke down the center.
