About sharing designs using True Type Fonts
First, to understand this part better, close your design and open it again. When you open it,
look at the Satus bar at the bottom of your screen: you will see the text “True Type Font in
Progress” with the blue progress bar. This means that every time you open a design with a
TTF in it, the program converts the True Type Font again into stitches. Consequence of this
is that, if you want to share a design using a specific font with someone else, that same font
has to be present on the other computer where you want to open the design!
If you don’t need to edit the text on the other computer, you can use another new feature in
version 3 and Export the design to another format, e.g. *.hus, or *.pcs, or *.dst. In this
example you will also have to delete the extra spaces that made the second part of the text
as large as the first part (via Text > Edit Text Letters). Exporting is done by choosing File >
Export and selecting a file-format and naming the file. Now the text is converted into a
regular embroidery design and doesn’t need the TTF anymore.
