Introduction
Lettering is probably the most popular stitching activity for beginning home users.
Most embroidery machines do include some lettering facilities and all serious embroidery packages include a lettering module. InkStitch does not have a specific lettering module with digitized fonts, but it allows - like a professional embroidery program - creating letters from SVG fonts.
Find and download fonts
Most computers are already filled with many interesting fonts. However, you also can add additional fonts:
E.g. try Google fonts
- Select a font (red cross on top right) or several ones
- At the bottom of the page there is a pull up menu, click on it
- Click on the download arrow (top right)
- Uunzip the zip file
- Ubuntu: Either select each file and double click, then install in the font manager, or copy to ~/.local/share/fonts
- Windows: Select all the files and right-click. Select install.
