Whether or not these fonts will work with your particular software and plotter is generally a matter of which font formats your software and hardware support. We supply a single-line SVG stroke font, a single-line TrueType (TTF) stroke font, and a regular TrueType (TTF) outline font version of each typeface. Using our single-line fonts with other plotters Contact Evil Mad Scientist for more information.

We have worked with Evil Mad Scientist, makers of the AxiDraw pen plotter, to provide an ideal handwriting font solution for use with the AxiDraw.
