Uploading Fonts

Based on the discussion in a.b.c.p., you're using Viking 3D embroidery software. That is NOT one of the many embroidery programs that can easily use installed truetype fonts directly.

But 3D offers two methods of incorporating your computer fonts and using them in embroidery. One is via 3DQuickFont and the other uses

Of you have 3D QuickFont, you can make a design alphabet - a set of design files (one letter per file) from any installed font.

The process is simple; Run 3D QuickFont, select your font from the dropdown list, set a few options on the first and second screens, and go. You'll end up with a folder containing as many letters as are in the original font, in the size you chose.

The 3D system also uses its own proprietary "font" format; these can be used like "real" fonts using your keyboard. A large number of these are supplied with the system as .nft files (each file is a complete font), and you can edit these or create your own with 3D Font Digitizing. I haven't used this and can't comment on how easy it might be.

Hope this helps.
