Merging fonts

You can merge letters from two or more fonts with the stand-alone font merging utility. Files to be merged must be placed in the ‘userletw’ folder of your EmbroideryStudio installation.

To merge fonts...

1Select Start > Programs > MS-DOS Prompt.

2When the command prompt appears, change to the BIN directory of your EmbroideryStudio installation. This is usually:

C:\Program Files\Wilcom\\\BIN

3Choose whether to automatically overwrite or receive prompt.

3To automatically overwrite the letters in the first file with letters of the same name from the other file(s), type:

alphcat.exe file1.ESA file2.ESA file3.ESA

3To receive a prompt message before a letter is overwritten, type:

alphcat.exe file1.ESA file2.ESA file3.ESA /Y

Press Y or N to confirm whether to overwrite.

4Click Yes to merge.
