Does anyone have any recommendations for a TTF legible font in small sizes?
Roughly 0.050" tall (or as best as possible) laser engraved on anodized aluminum.
I'm looking primarily for legibility over style.
Thanks

Use the corel engravers font. Basically it looks like a single line font etch instead of engrave.

I did this on my 18 year old 25w ULS, and these are all fairly bold fonts, AND my ULS has a fairly fat beam spot. Using the not-bold versions of these fonts should give great results.
Pop quiz-- everyone's seen and knows Friz Quadrata-- do you know from where?

I've used the Corel Switzerland (helvetica) down to 4 point and still readable by better eyes than mine..
Epilog 24TT(somewhere between 35-45 watts), CorelX4, Photograv(the old one, it works!), HotStamping, Pantograph, Vulcanizer, PolymerPlatemaker, Sandblasting Cabinet, and a 30 year collection of Assorted 'Junque'

Experience is a wonderful thing.
It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
