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.
