Is there anyway to use Hershey fonts in Estlcam?

I found some Hershey single line fonts in SVG format and wondered if they can be used in Estlcam as they are really quick for engraving being single line fonts.
I was able to test by separating the letters and putting together to form a word, but that is a bit slow to do.
Here is a test sample done that way

Here are a few samples of complete fonts:

scripts

Estlcam isn’t so much a designing software, it’s mostly aimed at taking a design and programming for the cnc. There are a lot of those types of fonts in design softwares like Inkscape, Affinity Design, etc that can be easily be added to projects without too much computer knowledge.

Estlcam can use the fonts if you just add them to the computer’s font folder. You need ttf files for it.
The new font tool is so good that I often add the font in Estlcam itself.

Hello,

Version 12 comes with a bundle of new single stroke fonts - but you unfortunately cannot add own ones (yet):

Adding a ttf of a single stroke font will make it available in Estlcams font list and it can also be used.
But it will be an outline like every other ttf font - not a fast and simple single stroke.
