[sdiy] Schaeffer Front Panel Fonts?

[s.thomas]

Hi ..actually FPD uses standard CAD fonts (.shx type..look in the font
subdirectory of FPD programme) . I have used  FPD fonts in my CAD drawings
(I use CAD rather than FPD now). I would think it should be easy to search
the web for .shx cad fonts and use them in FPD by copying them to the font
directory. But unless their single stroke fonts I would think Schaeffer
might  be reluctant to engrave a panel using them  as multistroke/TTF fonts
take a lot of machine time to engrave !

cheers
