Font and SuperDesign Files

mySewnet™ Font Digitizing stores and loads font and SuperDesign files with the extensions .efnt and .esds respectively, together with .vsmres files. These are special databases containing a set of digitized objects for each character or SuperDesign. The SuperDesign files also contain miniature thumbnails of the SuperDesigns for display on the SuperDesign tab of the mySewnet™ Embroidery ribbon bar. (Any background pictures used for digitizing are not stored in .efnt or .esds files.)

Thumbnail .png files for fonts are created automatically.

When you use a system font in mySewnet™ Font Digitizing, make a copy of it by selecting ’Copy and edit an existing’ in the Create or Edit Font dialog box. The copy is placed in your MyFonts folder.
