I'm building my own MT32-Pi but I cannot find the letter font so I can design the front plate in 2D and printing in 3D? Anyone?

I'd be more apt to just trace it with CAD software if you have a good scan of the bezel.

I can make a quick and dirty .STEP and .STL combo for you, if you can find me a good scan (as in, put inside a scanner)

Thanks wierd!! I have more than a scan: I'm sending you some illustrator files, jpg and also a pic with the measures. I've also included a pic with the best I could do using the litophane feature of Cura. If you could make it from a CAD, including the four holes that would be perfect! Oh, if you want to build your own Mt-32 Pi using my design, just let me know!!!

the .AI files might be convinced to go through ps2edit and get spat out as an .IGS file for my CAD software.

Please hold...

OK. Here is a 3D object created from the illustrator files. Included inside is the 2D DXF I generated with PSTOEDIT.

It is 1mm thick, with 1mm tall lettering. It is available in .STP and .STL formats.
