10/28/2016 Lettering Setups: Machine Fonts, Keyboard Fonts & Alphabet Designs <strong>Embroidery</strong> Article Machine Fonts Most machines include the ability to set up lettering by choosing a font style on the machine, setting style parameters such as size, and then typing in the letters that you want to sew . This type of font is built into the software of the machine. To add more fonts to the machine, the manufacturer of the machine must be contacted and additional font styles are added with an upgrade. Machine font styles are proprietary to each machine manufacturer and not sold at embroidery design web sites. Keyboard Fonts There are many software programs that can be used to set up lettering on the computer . A lettering software program allows you to create design files of words, such as a name for personalizing an item, or you can import a design and then add the lettering around the design, save as a machine file and sew . Most lettering programs come with a few font styles installed. This type of font is called “keyboard lettering” because the keyboard is used to type in the words that appear on the screen. Y ou choose the font style; adjust the parameters such as size, underlay , density, stitch length and column width or push/pull compensation, and then type the letters you want to appear on the screen. After the words are created, the screen is saved as a design, and then this file is sewn on the machine like any other design. Most lettering programs of fer the option to add font styles to the program. Dif ferent font styles are available to purchase as data files that are in a format compatible with the software. Some font data files are accompanied by a selfinstaller and others require that the data file be manually moved to a specific folder . The data file is commonly stored in a “Fonts” folder of the program, so that when the program loads, the font file is recognized and the style becomes available. Complete instructions for adding a font style to your software program should be found in the software program’ s manual. https://www.embroiderydesigns.com/emb_learning/article/842/letteringsetupsmachinefontskeyboardfontsalphabetdesigns.aspx 2/7
