    Yes you can. Import/Export of ILDA have no restrictions.
    I hired an Italian guy to do my wires. Now they look like spaghetti!

    They are fully functional DEMOs!. http://www.bocatec.de/download/PHOENIX-DEMO.zip
    Hmm what else can you use....Fiesta! http://www.lasershow.sk/Fiesta/fiestainstall.zip
    It has picture editor called Quazar 2 with ILDA output. Same like before....everything works except laser output.

    Lightbulb Some fonts usable with laser

    Hello i tested today some fonts that come in default installation of Win7 Pro with Moncha (and a pair of fine tuned CT6215 scanners ), here a list of them that do a decent framerate even with 2 lines per 11 characters on point density set to 50 (there is a bit of distortion but it's acceptable)

    Berlin Sans
    Bernard MT
    Comic Sans
    Cooper
    Forte
    Freestyle Script
    Goudy Old Style
    Harlow Solid
    High Tower Text
    Kristen ITC
    OCR A
    Poor Richard
    Segoe Print

    Those two marked with a smiley do a fine job, in the end Segoe Print is the most recommended of them

    my own stick40 font for 3ds max off course
    It does not work on word.
    but does work on LD2000
    it's truetype but single line.
    Works great for CNC machines too
    Stick40: http://www.mediafire.com/?ty9dtomdz39u1ik

    Does not work for Moncha... but it is rather a moncha related problem then it is with the font itself.

    Nope it does not trace them
    Truetype fonts are made so they always need to end and close.
    There are no real single line truetype fonts.
    This has always been a problem.

    My stick40 font is the closest you can come to a single line truetype font.
    The lines are so close to eachother 3ds max sees it as a one line font.
    However due to outlines of the font being so close together.
    Other software like microsoft word does not like it if you try and use the Stick40 font.
    But that is not where I intended it for

    It's of use for CNC machine software which accept truetype fonts for text, so you can do single line text
    and for 3ds max.
    These will display and also translate them to a single line font
    I'm very happy with the result.
