    Quoted from Curbfeeler:

    Wanted to post about the idea of using a font that's "close" versus tracing your own letters. There is the option of choosing a "close" font and then converting the letter to a series of points. This can save some tracing.

    WhatTheFont! and Identifont are both super-useful in helping find a close-match font for this purpose.

    and
    http://www.identifont.com/

    I'm very interested to see what a final plastic looks like using this process. Do you know what specific printer they're using, and what sheet size it will print to? Also curious as to the price of a single printed sheet, and pricing on multiples of the same sheet... although of course per the side discussion on copyright nobody would be running multiple sheets of the same plastics.
