Cursive font using in cc

[Gonefishing (Bob zambron)]

I want to add some cursive fonts to cc can someone tell me how to do that. Also the fonts that are in cc are are they the same ones on my computer in windows 10? If not how do I get to the ones in windows 10 and use them also

Maybe not what you’re looking for, but I’ve had good results picking the font I want in Word, typing my text, taking a screenshot, converting that to SVG using Inkscape, and then importing that into my part as a sketch (import svg).

For manufacturing, you can use a trace to follow the outline, or I’ll do an extruded cut into the page which you can then mill out with a pocket operation.
