Add FontSelect this topic to see information on Adding a Font to the design. This includes both LetterMat and TTFs. The LetterMat™ fonts are specialized fonts designed specifically for the Wizard FrameShop software. Single Line Fonts: The letters are formed with Single Lines, not drawn as the outlines of shapes. Single line fonts can only be Debossed or drawn with the Pen. Outline Fonts: The Outline fonts display the shapes of the letters as outlines with only a slight distinction between the thin and thick strokes. These fonts can be Debossed, Penned or Cut. See: Add Font Function See: LetterMat Properties The True Type Font (TTF) is an additional source of fonts, separate from LetterMats, that can be loaded into Designer to Cut, Deboss, or Pen. The True Type Font (TTF) format was created to work between both Apple (Mac) and Microsoft (Windows) and could be deciphered by most printers by default. The TTFs contain the mathematical outlines of each character in the font. The True Type Fonts are located in the /Windows/Fonts directory. Note: TTFs have not been tested by Wizard and results may vary. Feel free to experiment. See: Add Font Function See: TTF Properties | |
Vectorize ImageSelect this topic to see information on the Vectorize Image function which allows you to load an image and make it a Deboss/Pen or cuttable object.

Note that the Vectorizing utility in Trace has additional parameters that can be adjusted if you need more control of how an image is Vectorized.
