Need to figure out how to get a font (or other shape) to CNC properly inside and out to fit into itself, i.e. method to know that shape has no radius smaller than the bit.
- testing Hershey Text - http://www.evilmadscientist.com/2011/hershey-text-an-inkscape-extension-for-engraving-fonts/
- that provides nice single line engraving text, to a point solves the font's radius problem, but not the outside one...
- make hersheyfont
- make line thicknes = bit * 2.1 (2 to be exact, add .1 to have some space)
- use rounded joins and caps
- stroke to path
- new path strokestyle, round join and cap, width of bit
- fix distances of letters
- redo stroke to path
- break apart, delete, recombine as necessary
- fix/tweak
dead ends
- downloaded CamBam to see if it can do such things
