Importing a TrueType Font from the Internet

Importing a TrueType Font from the Internet

Scenario:

You received a bitmap artwork file for digitizing an embroidery design with lettering in it. You were told that you must use a specific font for the lettering, but the font is not available in the Wilcom Alphabet list.   

Solution: 

You can search for the font on the Internet and find the TrueType file. Add it to the Wilcom Alphabet list with the following procedure:

  1)    Download the TrueType Font file.
  2)    Open the file location in Windows Explorer.
  3)    Select the file and Right click to “Copy” the file.
  4)    Go to Windows Control Panel > Fonts folder.
  5)    Right click somewhere in between the font files in the Fonts folder (avoid right clicking on any file) and “Paste” the New Font

Note: at this point, you have imported a TrueType Font in Windows. In order to view the New Font, you must restart Wilcom Software.
