Arranging Embroidery Designs (Layout & Editing)
Specifying TrueType text
attributes
Various character attributes, such as the style, can
be specified for TrueType fonts converted to an
embroidery pattern.
1. Select the TrueType text.
2. Click Text, then TrueType Font Attribute
Setting.
→ A dialog box appears. If any characters
converted from a TrueType font are
selected, the attributes for the selected
characters are displayed.
3. To change the font style, select the desired
style from the Font style list.
4. To change the character set for the font, select
the desired character set from the Script
selector.
5. Click OK to set the attributes and to close the
dialog box.
→ The attribute settings are applied to all
text patterns that you will create from a
TrueType font, until the setting is
changed.

“Entering text/Small text” on page 80 and
“Specifying text attributes” on page 83.
Converting text to outline
pattern
Text in a TrueType font can be converted to an
outline pattern.
1. Select text in a TrueType font.
2. Click Text, then Convert to Outline Object.
→ The selected text is converted to outlines.
No sewing attributes are specified for the
converted outline; therefore, it appears as
dotted lines. Specify the sewing attributes
as necessary.
c
“Creating Outlined Characters (Using
Text Converted to Outline Object)” on
page 240 in the Instruction Manual (PDF
format).
a Note:
• The settings for
Font style
and
Script
differ depending on the TrueType font that
is selected.
• If text created from multiple TrueType
fonts is selected, this command is not
available.
In addition, if text of the same font but
different font styles or scripts is selected,
this dialog box appears with the attribute
settings for the first letter in the text.
In either case mentioned above, selecting
only one character from within text
displays a dialog box containing only that
character’s attributes.
b Memo:
In order to prevent the pattern from losing its
shape, group the outlines or specify hole
sewing.
