    Bekka - I struggled with the same thing. Much of my work includes
    words or phrases. Places like Infinity Stamps
    (www.infinitystamps.com) will custom make you anything you want, but
    it is pricey. I got a quote on a full alphabet not long ago, just out
    of curiosity, and they would do it in any font I wanted, but for
    $350! And that would give me only one font size! 

    I say all this because it is one of the reasons I wanted to learn
    PnP (transfer resist) etching. One day I suddenly realized that I
    had every letter and symbol I could ever want on my computer, in a
    hundred fonts, every size!... I throw this out as a suggestion,
    something for you to think about. I do agree that stamping looks
    different from etched text, but etched text looks really good. 

    Couldn't not at least speak up, having experienced the same
    frustration. And you can really only get stamps in one font, plain
    old sans serif. Or have you found a source I've missed on that
    score? If so, please tell! 

    If you do find punctuation stamps, please post and say where. I
    don't intend to stop using my stamps just because I now can etch
    text. But now that I can easily etch text, I may be using them less!
