Editing Fonts

When editing a font or SuperDesign set in mySewnet™ Font Digitizing, you can either edit the original, or make a copy of it before editing.

Open a font or SuperDesign set for editing in the Create or Edit Font dialog. See Create or Edit Font.

System fonts and SuperDesign sets should not be edited, but the Create or Edit Font dialog will make a copy for editing.

Only a limited range of fonts and SuperDesign sets are available for editing.

It is assumed that you are already familiar with stitch types from using mySewnet™ Digitizing.

Setting Properties for all Characters in a Font

To edit a character in a font or a SuperDesign, right-click to access a dialog box to alter an object’s properties, such as pattern or stitch length.

To set the properties for all characters in a font, set the Options in the Create page for the letter ’A’ (or for the first design in a SuperDesign set), these will then be the default properties for all other characters in the font, or designs in the set. Use Universal Properties Universal_Properties_icon00235.jpg to make existing characters in a font use the same stitch properties (e.g. angle) as the letter ’A’, or all SuperDesigns in a set use the same properties as the first SuperDesign. You can also change the stitch type used throughout a font or SuperDesign set with Universal Properties.
