BX fonts explained, choosing and adding fonts, making your own from stitch files, and the open OEF and OED formats.
What a BX font is, stitch BX fonts versus native (Digitizer) BX fonts and Embrilliance's own Native fonts, how to tell which you have, and what ThreadReady does with the file.
What to check before you buy a font: the kind and sizes for what you sell, the letters it includes, script and monogram fonts, stitch quality, the licence, and trying it as a draft.
Upload BX and .oef fonts, how sizes are grouped into families and which size is sewn, previewing and downloading a font, and Draft, Published and Archived.
Import a font sold as one stitch file per letter: how case, baselines and spacing are read, checking each size, and saving it as a font family.
Turn an alphabet you digitized, or one sold as letter designs, into a kiosk font: digitizing the letters, naming the files and size folders, importing them, and testing.
The Open Embroidery Format: .oef font files and .oed design files, what is inside them, where ThreadReady makes and uses them, and how licences carry over.
