Any recommendations on what fonts to use when doing some inlay lettering (I like to get fairly small).
Thanks

Re: Lettering Inlays
Are you using Zank inlay (V-inlay) or the inlay toolpaths?

Re: Lettering Inlays
San serif fonts with heavier strokes will work better.

Re: Lettering Inlays
What would you call fairly small & what sort of project is it? As Randal has said san serif fonts with a broader stroke will generally work well but they might not suit the project that well.
