How to Calligraphy with Eleksdraw
-
Hi Guys, I saw that text option in elekscam is really fast to put text, but however it is very limited with fonts.
How can we do Calligraphy with Eleksdraw. I saw in one of the axidraw videos of a great Calligraphy and I beleive same can be done using eleksdraw.
Any advice? Thanks

@vivek.khanna @nottingham82 made a video showing how to do this, it's not that difficult but can be time consuming.

Thanks @Zax Let me check his videos ...
Meanwhile please see the following video (@ 0:32, this is doing fast and clean)

There's nothing special about that, it's just drawing the paths. The trick is making those paths "natural".

I thought the calligraphy section in this videos is just the normal text with some handwriting font..

If you want it to write like how humans write you can use the video trace method I showed it search for single line fonts. Download and install them to your PC. I haven't seen any good ones that do a good job with cursive or calligraphy

Thanks.. I'll try and let you know

@nottingham82 ! Outline fonts worked amazing
used elekscam , but will look out for options in T2 Laser.

@nottingham82 I just bought a Eleksdraw machine to put my signature on my form letters, but I cannot get it to write like a person would do it. I saw your video on how to mark points along the signature, but at 65, I am WAY past learning new software. I have a pretty easy signature, is there any way I could get your help to make the file ?

@Mike-Ellis If @nottingham82 can't help I would be happy to convert it for you, just send me a high quality picture (send to my T2Laser support e-mail, you can get it from my website).
