Creating Custom Fonts (Font Creator)
Selecting a Character and Preparing the
Template
Selecting the character to
be created
The character to be created can be selected.
1. Click the Select Character button in the
Select Character bar.
2. In the Select Character dialog box that
appeared, click the character to be created.
If the desired character does not appear in the
list, a character can be selected by typing it in
the text box at the bottom of the dialog box,
then pressing the key.
■ Adding/deleting registered
characters
As a default, space, numbers (0 to 9), uppercase
letters (A to Z) and lowercase letters (a to z) are
registered in the Select Character dialog box.
Characters such as “?” and “!” can be added, and
unnecessary characters can be deleted. A
maximum of 1,024 characters can be registered
with each custom font.
1. Click File, then Add/Remove Letters.
2. From the keyboard, enter the character to be
registered.
→ The entered character appears in the box
under Directly type in text.
3. Click Add.
→ The entered character is added to the
character list.
If the character is already registered or if the
same character is entered multiple times, an
error message appears. Only characters that
have not yet been registered can be
registered.
4. To delete a registered character, select the
character, and then click Remove.
The box is selected in red. Each click of the
character switches between selecting and
deselecting it.
b Memo:
• Characters where pattern has already been
created appear with a blue background.
• The blank box in the upper-left corner is a
space. Click this box to select a space.
a Note:
If any part of the character pattern extends
off the Design Page when a different
character is selected, a message appears.
Before selecting a different character, edit
the character pattern so that no part extends
off the Design Page.
