Are there any single line fonts on Adobe Fonts?

[NiBeDB]

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!

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.

Thank you very much, Test Screen Name.

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?
