    If you have the correct font then it should be straight forward but you may have to alter the kerning a bit.

    If you don’t have the font you could use a font that is fairly close and then convert it to curves, once it has been converted you will be able to edit it by moving the nodes so it matches completely.

    thanks martin.

    i tried that, and while i got the text right, i had trouble with the easiest bit, the box around it

    i made 2 boxes, and converted to curves, then break aprt for the bit on top of the K
    but i could not join the 2 lines top and bottom to make the cut?

    Sorry don’t use corel but if I were doing it in my own sign software I could draw the rectangle, put an outline on it and then use the slice tool to cut the bits out. Or draw 2 separate boxes, combine them and then use the slice tool.
