Exciting news - I can now cut rectangles :)
However, text is still an issue, and it's a bit weird...
For braille, if I use Convert Stroke to Path, it works fine :)
For standard text, using Ariel, using Convert Stroke to Path, it kind of works, but not well. :(
For starters, the convert stroke to path is far from impressive - it doesn't really look like text, with missing parts.
Secondly, when cutting the ordinary text, it has the same old problem I used to have with rectangles - I'm going to coin the term 'strobing effect' - the laser moves left to right, back and forth, meaning it does eventually cut the shape, but takes a heck of a long time :P
Also, regarding the Win32 Vector Print extension, it would be peachy if you could specify which printer to use - my laser is not the default printer, otherwise I end up lasering documents I wanted to print! :P
