Font Conversion Question

Is there a way to convert text to a drawing? I know that if you use a
program called Flexi, and create text, then save as a DWG file, it will open
in AutoCAD, and you can then edit the letters individually as they are
created with lines and curves. Is there some way to just do this within
AutoCAD? I have a CNC plasma machine that can cut out any type of shape, but
I hate having to create letters each time I need a different font, and I
would much rather do it some other easy way. Thanks for any help.

 

You can use this:

Well I haven't installed it on my computer for a while now. I used it
a few years back and it wasn't rocket science. You select a font you
like, you type the text in one window and it creates an outline of it
in the other. Then I assume you select File/save or export or
something like that and you can export to a dxf.

I guess you can read the help or contact the owner of the software.

Good luck.

Ok
I've tried it, but I've got the contrary problem
I've got an autocad file, with the text wrote, and I must engrave this text
I need save a DXF with the same text as I look on the DWG
The problem is that when I save on DXf or open it with other engraver
program, the change the font of the text, so I must rewrite everything
I think I need "explode" the text on polyline before I save the DXF

I need your help , please
