F-Engrave Windows Installation

Windows Setup
I provide a zip file containing windows executable files for F-Engrave, ttf2cxf_stream and Potrace. The zip file also contains some fonts to get you started. Unzip the file and double click on the f-engrave-XX.exe file (where xx is the version) and you are off and running.

If the windows executable (f-engrave-XX.exe) does not work right away install the “Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)”. The program I use to create the Windows executables (py2exe) has a dependency to this package.

Alternatively you can install python and put the ttf2cxf_stream.exe and potrace.exe files in the path or in the same folder as the python file. I am not going to provide detailed information on this approach.
