Is there a FONT for Text that is automatically ok for stencils

Hi, I am making some stencils (eg to paint, ot Matker Pen, my Name onto a Suitcase). I make a base rectangle, extrude 2mm. Then add Text of Name, Fiddle sizing and extrude Remove. That works well for letters C,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,S,T,YOU,V,W,X,Y,Z, But Letters A,B,D,O,P,Q,R, have a Centre - So for those, I am one by one adding a 'Bridge' piece. Is there a Font that already does that or a technique to doe this more easily than having to do one at a time (And then a struggle iif you resize)

Allerta Stencil will do it.
Thanks, ill try that
CHEERS Thats works Nice. Not sure why on on 13 letter sthat do not need a 'Bridge adding' on eis added (The Letters underlined in red)
Stencils often have those bridges for stability. They aren't technically 100% necessary, but they make thin stencils less likely to lift up while spraying paint or get damaged during handling.
