Well, - it seemed to work.
I tried copying two ways. The first way was directly on the glass. The second way, I taped the inlay to some green paper and then copied onto clear mailing labels.
Copying on the green paper gave a better image, but you couldn't see well to place it.
I've attached images of both types of copies.
I used a dark one for testing purposes. It was easy to route right up to the edge. I had to clean the corners with a small chip carving chisel. The final image is with the inlay inserted about 1/2 way. I had to route the E twice because I didn't go up to the edge completely the first time.
