Default CNC Engraving - Need G-code converter

I have access to a CNC mill and enough programming knowledge that I want to engrave my instrument panel. I'm looking for a freeware progam that will convert TrueType font (ie: Arial) to G-code. Can any of you CNC guys help me on this?

Thanks

If you have the CAD file done, I can help with the G-Code. I would need to know what CNC machine your going to use. I can program the cutter path and E-mail it to you.

Not sure if this is what you're after, but the price is right.
