5 Select a justification setting as required – Left,
Centered, Right or Full.
Justification governs the way lettering aligns itself
along a baseline – e.g. to left, right, or center. Full
justification spreads letters out to fill the length of the
baseline.
6 Select a lettering orientation. See Setting lettering
orientations for details.
7 Click
OK.
8 Click where you want to place the lettering, or mark
reference points for the selected baseline.
9 Press
Enter.
Note Letters are filled with stitches according to
current settings in the Fill Stitch tab of the Object
Details dialog. You can change these at any time. See
also Changing lettering stitch types.
Selecting special characters
Embroidery and TrueType fonts generally contain
many more characters than are available via your
keyboard. In EasyDesign, you can add special
characters and symbols directly through the
Select Character dialog or by means of the
MS Windows® Character Map. See also Using the
Character Map.
To select special characters
1 Click the Lettering icon.
The Object Details > Lettering dialog opens.
Try this! If you know the Alt key code for the special
character you require, you can key it directly into the
text entry field. The Character Map gives you codes for
all characters. See Using the Character Map for details.
2 Click
Select Character.
The Select Character dialog opens.
Try this! Select a viewing mode – you can list
alphabets by picture, character, or both.
3 Select an alphabet from the Alphabet Set list.
4 Select the character(s) you want to use.
Try this! When you select a character, a keystroke
appears in the Selection field. This indicates the key
combination required to type the character directly
on-screen. For example, ‘
m’ means press the m key
while ‘
M’ means press Shift + M.
5 Click
OK to close the dialog.
The selected characters are displayed in the text entry
panel.
