When using *Relief SingleLine* font with a laser-cutting machine, it is recommended to use the *cutting* function at low intensity and not the *engraving* function in order to reduce inscription’s tracing time on any surface (do preliminary laser power tests to determine the best speed-power couple for each material to engrave with an inscription).

## Adobe CC ≥2019: OpenType-SVG color font method

As this project is primarily focusing on graphic user interface solutions opened the largest possible audiences, *Relief SingleLine* typeface is distributed as an OpenType-SVG color font format in order to simplify the layout process for the 2D fab lab community, i.e. having a single-line font editable in popular vector graphics and typographic composition softwares such as Illustrator or Indesign. OpenType-SVG technology represents an interesting alternative to permit single-line fonts wider distribution and easier use. To our knowledge, *Relief SingleLine* is the first single-line font working in Adobe apps (CC 2019 and above), opening new perspectives for makers worldwide. Fab lab users oriented towards 2D graphic practices can now easily access quality Bézier curves, kerning and OpenType features in their single-line typographical layouts!

Simply install the `ReliefSingleLine-Regular_svg.otf` on your system (or directly in the / Fonts subfolder of Illustrator or Indesign), open Illustrator or Indesign, compose your paragraphs and titlings; when the layout is finished, duplicate it and just use the / Text / Vectorize function to obtain a single-line design to export as PDF or SVG file to engrave through your favorite CNC machine (pen plotters, laser cutting or milling machine).

*Relief SingleLine* export as OpenType-SVG format was made possible thanks to [Frederik Berlaen](https://typemytype.com/)’s *SingleLine_otf-svgMaker* Python script for [Robofont](https://robofont.com/). This script permits to export any skeletal UFO-based font project towards a single-line / open paths OpenType-SVG font. *SingleLine_otf-svgMaker* uses [roundingPen](https://github.com/typemytype/outlinerRoboFontExtension/blob/master/Outliner.roboFontExt/lib/outlinePen.py) script by Frederik Berlaen. *SingleLine_otf-svgMaker* Python script is available on [SingleLine_otf-svgMaker](https://github.com/isdat-type/SingleLine_otf-svgMaker) separated isdaT-type’s Github repository.

Compose your layout in [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org/) using `ReliefSingleLineOutline-Regular.otf`, launch [Hershey Text Extension](https://www.evilmadscientist.com/2019/hershey-text-v30/) (now available by default) to render your text blocks as single-line letters: go to `/ Extension / Text / Hershey Text`.

Beware to first copy your source text blocks: after the Hershey Text Extension rendering process, texts are becoming not editable. Hershey Text Extension unfortunately apparently disables the kerning values even if truly embedded in the SVG font.
