	I need to cut some numbers on our plasma.  Does anyone have stencil numbers and letters in a DWG or DXF format I could get? Thanks, Micallen

	How can that text be converted into Polylines?  Seems I used to know how to do that... long ago.

	Express tools may have an explode text command. If not, there are explode text lisp routines out there.

	Certain letters might require a little editing.

	The company may not exist any more (I can't find an active website, but see, for example, http://www.softscout.com/software/Engineering/Computer-Aided-Design-CAD/Letterease.html), but we used to have a specialty text program called LetterEase, from Cadware, Inc.  It did all kinds of neat things with text in AutoCAD, including kerning.  It had a bunch of fonts available (you bought the program plus however many fonts you wanted), including several Helveticas (like AutoCAD's Swiss family) -- regular, light, bold, condensed, etc.  Each one came in several .SHX formats (outline only, high- and low-density filled) at a time when TrueType fonts couldn't be used, and even when TrueType came into the picture, the .SHX fonts generated and loaded much faster.  And, each font came with a folder containing each character as a Block, which when Exploded yielded Polyline outlines (and parallel-Line infills for the filled ones).  They had real curved edges where appropriate, and were very well-constructed, so they looked good at any size.  If you can find a place to get LetterEase fonts, Exploding the outline-only Blocks would give very good results.
