I converted normal.cxf to normal.ngc
I chose to make the arcs using a series of line segments (G1) using 5
degree units vs using the G3
command.
Here is a link to the file.

I will convert the rest of the fonts tonight.

Ray, I must confess I have been trying to get EMC to run for years without much
luck. With the Ubuntu live CD things started to click and with the support of
all the
folks that are EMC not only does it run but it runs well. I can't begin to

Inspired by Jim's example I decided to make a python script that converts
cxf to g-code on the fly:

It uses g2 and g3 for arcs. The interface is non-existent right now; just
edit the script and open it with AXIS.
