Use Font Manager 
to search for fonts and to arrange, rename, create, duplicate and delete user fonts.
Use mySewnet™ Font Digitizing for advanced editing of your fonts.
When a system font is selected, only the search functions are available in Font Manager.
Use Font Search to search for a font by name or size.
Search
Search for a font by name.
Enter the desired text in the Search box and press Enter. Click Clear to remove the search text, and use the drop-down menu to reuse previous searches.
Click Clear search before browsing for fonts by Category, or for searching by Size.
Size
Search for fonts by their recommended size.
Ensure that the Size checkbox is selected (checked), then enter the desired size in the Size number box.
The Size is based on the height of the uppercase 'A' character in the font. The recommended font size forms part of the name, for example Corinthian 15-35mm. See Font Size.
Range
To choose a size range, adjust the number in the Range
box, increasing the number to give a larger size range.
For example, if the Size is 15mm and the Range is 5mm, then fonts with ranges 5-15mm, 15-25mm, 12-16mm and 5-50mm will be visible, but fonts with ranges 3-8mm & 30-60mm will not. An imported embroidery font within this range will also be found.
Hide All System Installed Fonts
Check this box so that only fonts that you created in the QuickFont Wizard, in Import Font from Embroideries, or in mySewnet™ Font Digitizing are displayed, sorted by Category.
Only fonts within the Fonts folder structure will be shown.
Font Preview
The selected font is previewed, showing its type, name, category and size range.
Font Types
-
User generated font - fonts created by you or another user in QuickFont Wizard or mySewnet™ Font Digitizing, or imported with Import Font from Embroideries.
-
System installed font - the fonts supplied with your mySewnet™ Embroidery Software can be viewed and searched for, but they cannot be copied or deleted.
Name
Use the Name text box to change the name of the selected user font.
Edit the font name in the text box, then click Apply to save your changes.
Remember to preserve the size range information when changing the name. The recommended size can only be changed in mySewnet™ Font Digitizing. Changing the name does not change the size range.
Category
Use Category to select a different Category for the font, or enter the name for a new font Category.
Select a Category from the drop-down menu, and click Apply to confirm the change. The font then moves to its new Category.
If the selected Category already contains a font with the same name, an error message is displayed: "A font already exists in this category with this name." Rename the font, or select another font.
Use Duplicate to create a copy of the selected user font.
The copy is placed in the same Category as the original font, using the same name suffixed with "Copy of ".
