Font suitable for laser cutting #136

Closed O365Tycho closed 4 years ago

I like the new WCFont that has been recently commited, but i think a font suitable for laser cutting is needed with modified letters like A,B,D,O,Q,R,P . Would be nice if such a font is included by default to use with the create_layout.py script.

See for example the one @HeerNMeester meester used in his project: [https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/22868008/29250896-279badb2-804b-11e7-8805-2514a243e2e9.jpg]

Hi Tycho, There are 3 options for getting the right font:

  1. Search the internet ;)
  2. Create you own
  3. Use this website to create your own template (Use the Stencil DIN Q2 font). https://simongolms.github.io/QLOCKGENERATOR/#/home

@bk1285 Maybe a good idea to link this site on the ReadTheDocs?

Nice site! Guess that beats using the included python script. Definitely something that should make it to the docs.

(I saw that in the Qlockgenerator site there is an option to add an alarm icon. Might be a nice plugin for this project)
