The formats do not have any way to be stroke-based vector fonts (what you’d want for this), since the formats are not designed for it. The text rendering engines used by all our OSes are designed for outline fonts. The exception is the METAFONT format originally used with the TeX layout system. But because everything else uses outline fonts, almost no fonts were created in METAFONT format, which is why so many texts produced with TeX use the same few fonts. (TeX can also use PostScript fonts, and TrueType and OpenType with add-ons.) It’s fairly trivial to convert a stroke-based font to an outline font, but the reverse is damned near impossible. |

Thanks, Solidworks supports single line fonts and Rhino also supports. Adobe softwares don't. So, if anyone looking to work with single line fonts, use solidworks or Rhino. |

Someone has created some single line TTF fonts for CamBam : http://www.mrrace.com/CamBam_Fonts/ |

Hello, I needed a true single line font for a project I was doing and found a single line vector drawn alphabet in an svg file that worked great! You can't type these letters, but you instead have to place them in your drawing. I found it on Etsy at a shop called "my brand of weird." It's a fast machine cutting vector drawn "font" I found this after scouring the internet for hours. |
