(If a TrueType Font is selected)
If a TrueType Font is selected, a dialog similar to the one shown below will appear.
Based on the set attributes, all characters for the selected font appear in the Insert Character chart.
Enter characters in the same way that you would enter characters with a built-in font (as explained
above).
NOTE:
With some TrueType fonts, the text cannot be converted correctly into embroidery data due to the
shape of the design or the text cannot be embroidered correctly. Before sewing your project,
embroider a trial piece of fabric. In addition, text of some TrueType fonts cannot be converted. In
this case, the area containing the converted text will be empty or a message warning that the text
cannot be converted will appear.
NOTE:
If you need to edit the entered text, you can do so in the Edit Text dialog which opens when you
execute the Text – Edit Text Letters command. See “Edit Text Letters” on page 197.
Circle and Arc Drawing Mode
The circle or arc drawing mode allows you to create several patterns related to the circle: normal circles
(or ellipses), arcs, fan shapes and arc & strings.
All these patterns, except arcs have an outline and a region inside can independently be assigned differ-
ent sewing attributes. Arcs are simple outlines.
Note that you have to decide which pattern type you want to draw before drawing it. You cannot, for
example, draw a normal circle and change it into an arc afterwards.
