Now in the public domain on the Internet there is a huge number of a wide variety of TTF fonts, both the simplest and very cool in terms of design.
In addition, there are much more Russian fonts among such fonts than among library digitized ones, and therefore, it is easier to choose something suitable for each specific case.
To do this, you can go in the following ways:Digitize the font manually.Convert a font to embroidery using the built-in machine embroidery font converter.And today I will touch on the simpler of these 2 options - automatic font-to-embroidery conversion.
And since the order of actions in all editors is approximately the same and the most important thing here is to understand the principleThe first thing to do is select the Lettering tool from the online embroidery digitizing tab on the ribbon:In the lettering additional tab that appears, in the first block of it (Font), I select True Type Font:Next, I choose which of the font types installed on my computer I will create an inscription.
To do this, I have to select a font here:I also indicate the size in millimeters (the most important thing here is to decide on the correct numbers) and decide whether I want to make the font bold and slanted, if possible for this type of font:In the next Text block in an empty window, I enter the inscription I need from the keyboard:With the Char tool, you can immediately see that the list of symbols available for use with the font type I have chosen is very wide, compared to the already digitized library fonts:Also, I can align text relative to the edge when the "A" button is on:The small button on the bottom right (with a daw) checks the spelling in several languages, excluding, of course, Russian.After pressing the Enter key on the keyboard or right-clicking on the working area of the screen and a pretty decent time of thinking, the entered inscription appears on the screen:And you can already carry out some manipulations with it.
And also absolutely the same possibilities are available for working with each entered character using grips for resizing, shifting horizontally and vertically:Setting text properties is also exactly the same as for library fonts, as I described in the previous post, using this window:Some of these parameters are duplicated in the Spacing, Trims, Lock Stitches block so that you can quickly change them:The next Stitch Type block allows you to control already online embroidery digitizing parameters:From the drop-down menu, you can select and apply different styles for the letters, such as fill types, border shapes, border shapes, effects, and more.When you click on the small button next to the name of the Stitch Type block, the following window appears with many tabs with styles and the usual list of customizable embroidery parameters:The setting of embroidery parameters is traditional: density, available fill type, compensation, short stitches, split stitches, frames, overlaps, bartacks, etc.
