<p>I am looking at printing a fair amount of text, ideally using some custom fonts. I quite like <a href="https://pixelify.net/download/free-fonts/script-handwritten/stay-classy-font-free/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Stay Classy</a> but will likely have to consider change if it causes issues.</p>
<p>I am a little stuck on where to start with using these in some tools. I have tried creating an SVG using the font and importing to Tinkercad however that always fails. I only want to print the text, nothing else.</p>
<p>How do I properly convert my font into .svg and import that so I can make my bodies? While I have tried Tinkercad I am open to alternative tools if this can be achieved more easily.</p>

Fonts are not saved in a format that is .svg compatible. However, text that is written in a font and saved as a black-and-white picture can be turned into a .svg by software. This .svg can be imported by Tinkercad then.
Step 1: Text Picture
Use any software to create a .png or .jpg or something similar. Among the multitude of programs that can do this are GIMP and Adobe Photoshop. Even Paint can do this, or any word processor and then screen capture. If you know your Inkscape, you can skip this.
Step 2: making the .svg
Either you use software like
Inkscape
to import your picture and trace the outlines, or you use a web service. For example
Convertino
or the
Fontquirrel Webfont generator
. You only need the outlines, no filling!
In Inkscape the rundown to tracing is:
File/Import
Path/Trace Bitmap
Update
OK
Step 3: Import
You got your outline .svg, so import that into any software and you can start making your embossed letters. Personally, I would use Fusion360, but most CAD software support importing an SVG and treat that the same as if you had sketched in that software.
