Not the greatest quality - but it's the one I found.   We were pleasantly
surprised that we could engrave all manner of materials - granite, glass
(including mirrors), glazed tiles, and anodized aluminum.

Wow, I'm amazed that you arranged that by hand! Automating that process would be
a fun POV-Ray project. The functions min_extent () and max_extent () work on the
text {} object and that's the key functionality required. In addition to scaling
you could fine-tune the fit by adjusting the spacing between first and last
names. Since your cloud shape is a rectangle that would keep things relatively
simple and the empty center would only add a slight level of complexity. If I
had unlimited free time I would enjoy taking a shot at that...

Nice job, and for a very worthy and noble cause!

Regards,
Dave Blandston

You used cursive text for ladies and print for men. Isn't that sexist?

You're assuming the gender by the name. How insensitive, you brute!

(Joking, of course...)
