Do you mean single line font? Those are Vectric specific and you can't download new ones.

There are true type fonts available for free that emulate single line fonts but they aren't really. - https://www.other software.pixelmaker.eu/other software ... fonts.html

Looks like Adrian's link got hit by the "other software" substitution.

Some info on "Single Line Fonts" can be found here: http://imajeenyus.com/computer/20150110 ... ndex.shtml

If you scroll down to "True single-line fonts", the first one listed is the typeface Adrian was attempting to link to.

I wish they would dump that substitution thing.

It is sort of ridiculous. Does someone think this is 1950 and no one can find "other software" on the internet? It gets laughable when I think about doing it on an internet forum.

There are so many things about this forum that are archaic to say the least. I couldn't get the powers that answer support questions to do anything to upset the apple cart of long time users. I'm sure this forum software is stuck in the 20th century, but probably because certain folks can't cope with major changes. :D Not meaning any offense, but there are better ways.
