I know that this is a little off topic but thought that the people here
would have plenty of great ideas.



I am looking for help finding a font that can be cut out for a stencil. I
make cakes and tarts that sometimes I want to use powdered sugar or ground
chocolate instead of icing for the message. I create the message on the
computer and print it out on a thin piece of plastic then cut out the
letters to make the stencil. I have experimented with different fonts but
each has a different problem. Has anyone found a font that would be good to
outline letters?



thanks.

I guess I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean you need a thicker font
so that it can be turned into a stencil?

No I am looking for a font that provides an true outline of the letters when
you cut them out. The fonts that I have tried have problems that the center
of letters fall out.

At least for Macs, there's a font called, oddly enough "stencil"; you
might try googling for it.

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for.
