Troubleshooting

Text does not fit or cannot be cut

Fix text that is too long, too small, missing characters, or stencil text that would drop the centres of letters.

Problem Fix
Text too long or no room Shorten it, lower Cap height, or make the part wider
Text was shrunk to fit Check the new size in the assumptions; enlarge the part if it is too small to read
Engraved text too small Raise Cap height; very small engraving fills in on wood
Unsupported character The font has no glyph for it (some symbols and emoji). Choose another font or remove the character
Stencil letters with closed counters O, A, B and similar letters would drop their centres. Use engraved or raised text, or a stencil font with bridges
Border too wide On a layered sign, reduce the border so the text has room
Nothing to engrave The engraving text is empty; type it or turn engraving off
