I am totally in love with truetype-tracer and already engraved a bunch
of stuff. I wish I had a faster spindle, but I digress.

What I am thinking is that it would  be really great to somehow
integrate it with G code a little bit somehow, so that we could do it
inside G code. Example of what I was thinking is to use comments, like
they are used for printing or MSG:

(FONT /font/dir/myfont.ttf)
(TEXT To my beloved favorite person)
G777 X0.5 Y0.5 Z-0.02 P0.0001 F3

which would write the given text with the given font starting at (0.5, 0.5).

Now I would not want to abuse anyone, especially if no one wants this,
but if the implementation of this sort of concept is straightforward,
I could try to take a stab at implementing it.
