Use custom fonts to store any letters you create. To make a new font, you name it and set the default spacing and join type for adjacent letters. You also specify the file type.
1Digitize the objects that make up the new letter, and select them.
2Select Object > Create Letter.
3Click Create. The Create Alphabet dialog opens.
4Enter a name for your new font.
5Enter spacing in the Default Letter Spacing field. As a rule of thumb:
Use 8-10% for standard fonts such as block and serif styles.
Use 0% for script-style fonts.
6Select a method of joining adjacent letters in the Default Join Type list.

As digitized |

Closest join |
Resequences entry and exit points in adjacent letters to join them at the closest point. |
|
Bottom join |
Resequences entry and exit points in adjacent letters to create a connector along the lettering baseline. |
Note: The lettering stitch method should be preset to give the best results. In most cases, Closest Join is recommended in order to minimize trims. Bear in mind though that the join method can be changed by the end user.
