Placeholder for single stroke font generator.
Write text in your own handwriting using a plotter, or generate a woff2 font that mimicks your handwriting.

In a future version the next button (save - missing) will generate a woff file.
To generate gcode you could use a tool like juicy. I would integrate this but currently there is no GUI to capture the text.

To generate a TTF font:
Install svg2ttf `npm install -g svg2ttf`
Load up the preview mode in this tool, click the Save icon, Add a name, family and descripton. Optionally set a text rotation and a width. This is required if you want to see the fonts in a tool like word since the lines have a width of 0. Run `svg2ttf data/myFont.svg myFont.ttf` then install the font depending on the OS.

Need help:
Not sure how to resolve dependanies and run on other OS's
Not familiar with QML, I want to open a sepate window, for unrelated GUI inputs
