I use the Silhouette Studio Basic so I convert to DXF first. Now you can save as SVG and import it to your cutter/plotter if SVG import is available. Try it with my Singularis/Dualis/Pluralis fonts. Then the Hershey Text extension will find the correct font based on the font name. If you have a matching TTF font with the same name, you can specify this font for your text before you use the extension and just specify the file-folder for your corresponding SVG fonts in the Hershey Text extension.

Select one of the included fonts, or select “Other” to specify another svg-font of your choice.
