What fonts work well when milling text?
I would like to make an aluminum name plaque with letters about an inch or so tall and about .25 inch thick. They would either be raised above the rest of the surface, or recessed into the surface. When raised above the surface, the letters should have pockets with few sharp corners so I don't need a small end mill to clean it out. The spacing between the letters should be generous, again so a reasonably sized end mill can navigate the spaces. For letters that are recessed, the strokes of the letter should be thick and have rounded ends. Inter-letter spacing is not important. Note that I am NOT talking about light engraving of the outline of the letter. This is a full machining of the solid letter. The CAD/CAM programs I'm using let me use any True Type Font. Any recommendations?
