Stencil-Cutting

Here's why I didn't even think about automating it:All I found of the font were old samples! --Blowing it up and hand-smoothing (most of the divots are trimmed out of the stencil proper, btw, this is just the scrap) makes it almost "original work," right? Right?

...Aw, I sure hope that font didn't get sold to Righthaven....

    it looks similar to Jott or Prelude. Someone probably has it somewhere, but it looks like you got where you needed to go anyway!

    The strange thing about fonts is that they are copyrighted and trademarked, not patented. So you can copy the outline or form of the letters without problem, you just can't call the result by the same name as whoever owns the trademark or copyright of that name. So what one system calls Helvetica is called Swiss in another; same letter shapes but a different name.
