Hey there,
I'm searching for single line fonts on Adobe Fonts and can't find any. Am I doing something wrong or is there none? I need a font to prepare an engraving.
Thanks in advance!
Nico
All the fonts are OpenType and I don't think single line fonts actually exist in OpenType form. It's always a filled shape. May be wrong though.

Engraving? Do you want to set an outline of the text (no fill, just outline? This example is from Adobe Blue Book at 97:
/Helvetica-Bold findfont
30 scalefont setfont
/oshow %stack: (string)
{ true charpath stroke }
def
(String to print) oshow
showpage
Combined with a .N setgray in a gsave/grestore pair, it is hugely useful for engraving/signage, etc.

Hi John, thank's for your replay. Yes, engraving with a Shaper Origin. Simply said, I am looking for a way to generate the "center lines of a font". So that each letter consists of individual lines, not an outline, not an area.
Sounds very interessting to me. But I don't understand where to put the code. And what is the Adobe Blue Book?
