PyCAM uses the single-line fonts created by the QCAD-developers.
See Extras -> Engrave Text in the PyCAM menu.
Single-line fonts are usually more suitable for engraving than common contour-based fonts. You will see the difference when you try to engrave a regular font (e.g. created with Inkscape). The inner sections of each letter will be less blurry with a single-line font (especially for small engravings).
The following list shows all fonts available in PyCAM. The example text is:
ABCDEFGHIJKLM
NOPQRSTUVWXYZ
01234567890
!"$%&*()[]{}-_=
