Looking for a good font to cut

[Kasey Maxwell]

Hi guys, I'm in need of a font or some to choose from to use for my business cards made out of wood, I want the letters to cut out of the wood so the font is see through, the issue I'm having is finding a font that will cut but not remove the centers like the O or A, might not be possible, I was hoping for like a signature type of font or similar. :D

Thanks

Try a stencil font. If you don't have any, just Google for "stencil font." It will leave the centers intact. Small sizes wouldn't work to well, but larger sizes used for a line or two would be OK.

since we are on the font topic, anyone have a way on a pc to use fonts but not have them installed? seems when you install tons of fonts on a pc it slows down the pc dramatically so if there could be a way to view and use them but not install, that would be awesome !

Thanks

You need a font manager. They allow you to view all the fonts you have on your PC but only install or uninstall the ones you want. I use MainType Font Manager. It is cheap and very good. You can "load" a font which allows you to use it and then automatically uninstalls when you restart your PC, or "install" the font where it remains until you uninstall it. Lots of other good features, including printing specimen sheets. I make specimen sheets of all my fonts (18,000 of them) and print them to a PDF creator like Cute PDF Writer. MainType has a trial period before you buy. Cute is free.

I use any font to cut, just have to create "bridges" on some letters so the inner parts don't fall out. To manage fonts - Font Navigator is a good tool - comes with Corel

A popular font that doesn't have the counterforms is called Lot. It's a free font too. I just recently used it for an inlay. Here's a sample.193556
