A Font for Husqvana

I don't know if Husqvarna has such a font already digitized, however, if you have the proper software, you should be able to digitize any font that's available on your computer. If that font is not installed on your computer, you may be able to download/purchase it from an online source.

The computer font Pristina is a light, script-y font with some very thin strokes -

are also other fonts with names that might sound like it, such as Scriptina. neither of those are what you want, can you point to a URL that has a sample of what you're looking for? Or you can post an image at alt.binaries.crafts.pictures.As far as something similar, there are thousands of script fonts!Here's a link to a pdf file of some of the design alphabets available from Viking:

that link wraps or doesn't work, this is a tinyurl shortcut to the same link: you have embroidery software, or are you looking for pre-made DESIGNS in the shape of letters? If you have Viking/Pfaff software's QuickFont (and wizard) you can create design files from any Truetype computer font, in just the sizes you need. I THINK that it's also possible to create pseudo-fonts that are accessible from the basic Viking/Pfaff embroidery program - the one that has an option for including text and pre-set shapes into a design. Many other embroidery programs (such as PEDesign and Artista) have allowed direct use of computer fonts for a long time. More recent versions of VIking/Pfaff software might be able to do it as well - I'm not familiar with the 4D package.

Thank you both. My daughter has the Pristina font, (it's her coffee shop), but I don't know how to digitise it. I have the original digitising software for the Rose machine, but never got on well learning to use it, and had no one to help me learn. I have used only the couple of scripts which came with the machine.

My problem is being too far from any Husqvarna experts, or even a supplier now. It's easier to find help from overseas than physically!

I couldn't get either URL to work, but if the font is available ready to use, I'd like to buy it, at a reasonable price.

There is no software specifically for your sewing machine, although you may have purchased them together. The software is for your PC; except for the card reader/writer piece of the program, any software can be used with any sewing machine (with some exceptions). What software do you have?

Viking software is among the most unintelligible. You're not alone!

Understandable.

While it might be available somewhere, it might be hard to find. Don't any of the available alphabets work for you?

I can easily create a set of individual letter designs for you (they would have to be placed individually. The "fonts" usable in the embroidery program by typing on the keyboard have a proprietary internal format and can be obtained only from Viking.

Do you want these individual letters or an entire design? (Full text - the name of the shop or whatever)

And what size? How high should each of the letters be - designs come in one size and should only be resized by about 10%. The internal proprietary fonts can be sized as you create your design.

If you get to alt.binaries.crafts.pictures, the designs can be posted there for you.

I have the customising system and the digitising system made for windows 95. I have winXP now, but win98 was re-installed on my hd so that I could continue to use the customiser.

I have recently bought a new reader/writer, not realising it came without any software, and am still trying to get the software at a price I can afford. Meanwhile I'm stuck with the old equipment.

The shop is called "The GreenHouse" (no space after green), and since I have only a 4" design area, it would have to be in parts anyway.

I have gone back to alt.binaries.crafts.pictures, but have to get rid of the thousands of headers before I can start reading messages. I had pc trouble when I tried the group before.

Thank you for your help. I'll be glad if things can be worked out.

Pauline, many thanks for the email. I tried to reply but it was rejected, though I can't see an obvious spamblock.

Hi Joyce

Don't know why it would be rejected, but some things happen which we have no control over - this must be one of them!

I wondered if the files were any good?

Pauline

I'm still trying - getting your emails, but sending nothing! My daughter thinks it's our server at fault, and will investigate.
