You do not need to digitize every character in a font. For instance, if you are designing a Fun or Monogram font, you may prefer to digitize only the uppercase characters.
The available character sets are: Extended, Super Extended, Western 1, 2, 3 and 4, Cyrillic 1 and 2, and Hiragana 1. These correspond to the character sets that can be chosen in the QuickFont Wizard of mySewnet™ Embroidery. The fonts that are provided with mySewnet™ Embroidery use the Extended character set.
Different character sets are available, depending on the selected file type.

The more characters in a font, the greater the amount of time needed to create that font. Nearest Point fonts require four versions of each character. Therefore, such a font will take longer to create.
Select the desired set from the Character Set drop-down list on the Font page. See Creating and Editing Fonts.
