Opening a template (TrueType font)

  1. In Create New Font mode, click the [View] tab.
  2. Click [Open] in the [Template] group, and then select [Select TrueType Font] from the list.
  3. From the [Font] selector, select the font. From the [Style] selector, select the character style. And then click [OK].

    While working on a character in a font, the same TrueType font appears until a different template is selected for the background. Each time a different character is selected in the [Select Character] box, the template of the character in the same TrueType font appears.

    • If the character selected in the [Select Character] box is not available in the TrueType font, "?" appears as the template.
    • If a TrueType font was selected as the template, it cannot be moved or resized.
    • In this case, it can automatically be converted to a font character pattern.
