Scroll saw font

I need a nice bold scroll saw (stencil) font for a project (mailbox):
I need the word POSTE. I hate to have to pay $10 for a couple of
letters. Does anyone know where that could be available for free.
TIA
Gil

This is very good: almost identical. Thank you very much.

This is a text group, not a binaries group. Most servers automatically strip
attachments.

Try posting the jpg in alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking .

No, you didn't tread on any toes - I'm just pointing out that if you attach
pictures to posts in this ng, most people aren't going to see them. If you
want to be sure that your pics can be seen, post them to a binaries group.

This appears to be very similar to what I see in MS Word with the "Bookman Old Style" font and 'Bold".

If you use something like MS Word or MS Works. When choosing a font
for scroll sawing choose Outline. In Word you would select the Font
and type size, then go to Format - Font, then check Outline in
Effects.

I have looked at many fonts, and I thank you for the Format Outline (I
didn't know that).
I like the font in the plan for a mailbox, the one from Wood Mag. I
will try to include a photo of that plan. I need to have a French
version: POSTE of that same font.
