Has anyone had the chance to do a comparison of the Husqvarna diamond and the Bernina 830. I would love to hear your views.

I have 5D Embroidery Extra and am wondering if I can import purchased fonts into the My Font (or other category) so I can type lines of text vs. 1 letter at a time.
thanks!

No you cannot import purchased fonts into My fonts to make letters. In My fonts you can only make your own fonts from scratch using any Windows True type font. I have been meaning to do a tutorial on this section for some time.
What you have to do is treat each letter of the font you have purchased as a separate embroidery and open them in Embroidery Extra. When you have a word, select all and Encore as a line to get the positioning you want. You can then line up each word using the Alignment tools. Takes a little longer but the results are really worth it and in the long run you often get a better result than some of the fonts you make yourself in My fonts. Not all fonts made in My Fonts embroider well.
