Stick fonts for engraved legends on panels

I'd like to engrave text on an instrument panel in what I think is called a stick font, in the general form of the one below, but I don't see a font like this available in the Text Sketch feature.  Is it possible to use this sort of font in OS?

    I would very much like this too, probably for much the same reasons.

    @lougallo, please will you add me to the request also?

    Many thanks,

    I'd like to use my own fonts too.
    Engraving panels means quite always the use of your own fonts for aesthetic reasons.
    Add me to this request, please!

    I have just finished a job where I needed to use the client's preferred font and unfortunately I had to use another CAD software to do this, which was disappointing to say the least.
    I'm hoping that this request is moving up the improvement list
