I wanted share a program with you’all called Stencilfy. This is a web based app that can take about any font you have on your PC and make a text field input convert to a Plasma Friendly SVG output. [https://stencilfy.onrender.com/](https://stencilfy.onrender.com/) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/arcdroidcnc/original/2X/e/ec67c5e08aec77be7e789d6098376b7b801f60d3.png) What makes this free program even more Amazing is that you can run it directly off your PC. I have noticed the website this Node.JS based app is running on is sometime unavailable. Well, no problem. If it is down and you have some IT-FU you can run it locally on your pc by following the github instructions found here: [GitHub - ttseng/Stencilfy: Node application for creating stencil version of text for laser cutting](https://github.com/ttseng/Stencilfy) I hope you’all find it as useful as I have. ---

It only outputs SVG. You can use other online tools like [SVG to DXF | CloudConvert](https://cloudconvert.com/svg-to-dxf) to convert to DXF. ---

Thanks! It even plays well with Fusion 360. For some reason I’ve had trouble importing most of the stencil fonts in Inkscape to F360. (any tips on this issue would be welcome…). ---

You don’t need to download an app to use the font. You can directly use web fonts for free [here](https://fontesdeletras.io/).
