(11) Continue the previous job to fill large TrueType fonts
(Virtual Controller and HPGL)
Step 1. Use feature (5) to layout the job again.
Step 2. Select arrow cursor on the Tool Pad and click anywhere
outside to deselect all the line. If any or all are selected you
will see blue boxes around the selected lines.
Step 3. Click arrow on the last line of text to select it. Select a
proper tool to fill these characters.
Step 4. Click on the Job Design menu and Select ‘Convert to
Paths’. This line is not a text line anymore. It is converted to
curves or graphics. Now it can be filled like any logo or clip
art.
Step 5. Drag a box around the last line and make sure all the
characters are selected with inside and outside shapes.
Avoid selecting with individual clicks. A mistake can be made
of not selecting all the shapes by clicking individually. For
example, if you select just the outside circle of a character ‘O’
instead of selecting both the parts of the character, it will fill
differently. Experiment to understand the difference.
