I couldn't find any small programs that i could use to write letters using my 3D Printer as a plotter so i wrote one. After mucking about with different fonts i found a font set called the Hershey fonts. These are the only fonts used in this application since they are primarily stroke based fonts rather than outline fonts that every other program i tried had.
A full write up on how to use this program can be found on the github page.

Create perfect cursive handwriting. Other fonts included are block text, Greek, Japanese and various symbols.

I could do another video on the process if anyone is interested.

I don't know what i wrote in Japanese, i only speak English. Perhaps someone can pop a translation in the comments.
