Hi all,
I am laser cutting table place names for my wedding and spent (waaaaay) too long setting up the file of names to cut, only to find out when I opened the svg file in Ruby on the laser computer, the design went, for lack of a better term, cray cray.
I thought at first it was the font not being installed on the laser computer, but all the elements of the design were (I’m pretty sure) converted to objects/paths so shouldn’t be a problem. Looks like the outlines stayed the same but the font converted to something standard. It also didn’t alert me to any missing fonts etc when the file opened.
The original file was taken from the induction ‘First Project’ (thanks @Brendon and Laser Techs!) to make it easy to work with. The annoying thing is it worked for my test print a month back for one name.
See below for two images of what it should look like and what it opens as.
Anyone have any ideas what might be happening?
TIA
