[sdiy] Schaeffer Front Panel Fonts?

[harrybissell]

Afaik Schaeffer will engrave ANY font you want... and you will pay based
on how long it takes to do it. FPD has some multi-stroke fonts... you just need

to switch the fonts to see the difference in the cost.  I'm happy with the
single stroke
font I used....
