I'm cnc milling out a new take up spool for my wire eroder, and as the original had the Fanuc logo emblazoned on it I thought I'd try and engrave a replica.
I was going to try and convert this image to an outline as a dxf but it's defeating me - if I can find the font I could just type it in !!

Andy 'Liberation Serif' looks exactly the same except the 'F' which you could tweak?

Andrew,
I did a bit of coarse manipulation with the image to turn it into a black font on a white background and submitted it to two online font finders.
There wasn't a good match for all characters. The C seems unique.
I suspect it's a FANUC special.
Phil.

Gosh Phil, I never knew that such things exist! Thanks for trying. Yes I expect that is is a logo that they paid a fortune to have designed. Amusingly that form of the logo doesn't seem to feature on any other Fanuc kit where the lettering is much more plain.

Hi Andrew,
Does the attached look OK? I imported your jpeg into Autocad and did a quick trace over. The curves are arcs and not splines so I could make each character into a polyline.
The characters are 10mm high so you could scale them to whatever height you like.
The zip file contains the dxf - I seemingly can't attach a dxf directly.
[Edit: Replaced zip file - a rogue line was removed.]
Phil.
