Hi, I have created a font as strokes in Adobe Illustrator. While I can find plenty of font programs that will import AI/EPS files, they only support outlines, not strokes. I need strokes as I am using this font to be written by a CMC machine. The machines software comes with a few single line fonts, but they are .FF files. I can't find much about them online. They can't be installed to windows and only work within the CMC machine's software. Any help creating a font from a single stroke would be greatly appreciated. I've tried FontLab, and it converts my strokes to outlines, which won't work for what I am doing. I've also tried FontForge and Birdfont with no success either.

i think you should draw the strokes, and not use the stroke tool.

No CMC but cnc
