Hi Windell! Thank you so much for your reply and for your work. I can't use the Hershey Text plugin only for cyrillic, not due to order of chars in set, but due to the shape of glyphs itself is not so suitable for engraving. I can get Cyrillic letters only in 3-stroke form, i.e., i mean, the cyrillic text looks like "3-stroke" string in http://www.flickr.com/photos/oskay/5432527781/ . While ASCII text looks like "1-stroke" and then it's well suitable for engraving. I do not think that it is bug, but maybe i just misuse the tool.
BTW, looking at tool, it is possible to integrate my font in your tool? My "font" contains arcs, as you can see. While Hershey glyphs are only linear. My font is nothing more than attachment in comment #8, i.e. no other source codes - it just drawn from scratch on Inkscape sheet.
Thank you! :-)
