I am struggling to draw a stamp that the letters taper to sharp point.
I have tried various fonts that I can extrude no problems but when I try to taper the extrusion to a point I get height differences due to the different widths of the fonts. (see attached BPic.png)
I have tried many different fonts and even tried downloading "monoline" fonts but none seem to be equal widths.
Does anyone know how to do this?

What I would do is explode the text in a sketch, then use the offset tool to draw the inside of the letter at a consistent width and extrude from there. See the attached file.
Hi
Thanks for that. Not a bad way of doing it for occasional single letters or short words.
I would however also like to be able to do this quickly and easily for longer sentences or addresses. I intent to make custom branding irons for leather or wood projects. I am hobbyist and will try to work out if your method can be adapted to do multiple letters when i get some time.
Once you got the 26 letters done, you can insert as many copies of each letter that you need for a sentence and use joints to place them.
