[simpits-tech] Engraving font

[Fred Mahone]

Allen,

	The font you converted is a TrueType font? I got the milspec paper work 
that describes the actual font that is required and it is the original
font supplied by the company that made the engravers. I do not have the 
sheets here at work to give you the name. The sheet also lists TrueType 
fonts that are close to it that you are supposed to use for doing the 
drawing. I have searched everywhere for a conversion of the milspec font, 
including Agfa and have not found anything. I will do as you did and 
convert one over.

	Your panels look excellent. I have seen the different panels types at the 
ALEA convention. They were being displayed by a company that refurbishes 
transilluminated panels. Just seeing the different ways they are made is 
fascinating. They informed me that all panels are being converted or made 
new with leds for the illumination as they are not effected by the 
vibration present. I have experimented with some leds to
see how hard this will be.

	Have you used the Gravoply that has the translucent white instead of the 
opaque backing? This allows a more even spread of light and
is brighter than the opaque.
