Appendix C
Standard Alphabets
The table below includes all alphabets that are standard with your
EmbroideryStudio software. For best results when stitching, do not exceed the
recommended maximum or minimum sizes. Note, however, that recommended
maximum and minimum heights refer to UPPER CASE letters. Most embroidery
fonts are digitized from an original TrueType Font (TTF), some of which have
lower-case letters – e.g. ‘a’ and ‘c’ – which are about 70% the height of a capital
letter. As a result, these letters may be too small to embroider neatly. You may
need to increase the size of the lower-case characters to suit the embroidery.
TrueType Font
Embroidery Letters
You can create special characters in each alphabet by holding down the Alt key
on your keyboard and typing 0 (zero), its code, using the numbers on the
keypad. For example, to type ê with the code 234, type Alt+0234. The
accented letter will appear when you release the Alt key. See also Adding special
characters and symbols.
Note Not all characters are available in all alphabets.
