The free Deskam product that Paul mentioned above is called DeskEngrave (http://www.deskam.com/deskengrave.html). Quoting from them: "..... is a basic True Type Font to Vector Converter that allows saving of G-Code or DXF files. It will convert a single line of text into the required toolpaths for engraving. It can create toolpaths aligned along an arc or straight line. It includes a TTF 'Stick Style' font - Stick40. It is being released to the CNC community free of charge."

Don't forget to "Set Parameters" when you use the program. Wonder how I knew that?:D
