Basic Font Creator Operations

Manually Creating Custom Font

With Font Creator, custom font characters that can be used in Layout & Editing can be created and edited.

Using these custom characters, original embroidery patterns can be created.

Step 1 Opening a background

image

In order to create the custom font, we will open an

image in the background. For this example, we

will use the provided background image to create

a pattern for the letter “T”.

Click , then select All Programs, then PE-

DESIGN 8, then Tools, then Font Creator.

Click File, then Template Open, then from

File.

Import the Capital_T.bmp.

Select the file Capital_T.bmp by clicking the

documents folder (My documents), then PE-

DESIGN8, then Sample, then Font Creator,

then Font Template.

Move the character so that the top aligns with

the Capital Line. To adjust the height of the

character, drag a handle to adjust the height

between the Capital Line and the Base Line.
