Hello,
I have a couple of customers looking to have stencils cut and signs made. I am currently drawing in autocad 2008. I don't think I can use autocad. What program could I use for letters? Is there downloadable fonts available to use?
Good program for drawing letters / fonts?

Re: cutting letters
Hi,
I use corel version 12. It has lots of fonts. I also use my Torchmate cad software.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Re: cutting letters
You can use Autocad 2008, not LT to make the letters. Draw them as multiline text, and use explode text. There is a utility called ET:TEXT for this. It can be found under express tools. Then you will have to use the regular explode. After this you can modify them how you need them.
