<_param name="aboutpage" type="description" xml:space="preserve">This tool renders a line of text using specialized
"stroke" or "engraving" fonts designed for plotters.

Whereas regular "outline" fonts (e.g., TrueType) work
by filling in the region inside an invisible outline,
engraving fonts are composed only of individual lines
or strokes; much like human handwriting.

Engraving fonts are used for creating text paths that
computer controlled drawing and cutting machines (from
pen plotters to CNC routers) can efficiently follow.
