Mark,
You may try a edge walk underlay. It will help make your letters nice and
crisp. You have to take into consideration your font size as well. If you are
trying to do small lettering sometimes the edge walk will show on small fonts.

Jack,
I am sorry you are right. I typed it exactly opposite. Basically the letters
look skimpy, not full. I have to click the pull comp up to 220 on a Full Block
style font and that doesn't look as full as I would like.
Thanks
Mark

Are you saying you want the jagged look? If so I think you have to digitize
the letters that way. But if that was a typo in your message and you want
smoother edges and denser fills then you can increase density about 10% without
too much trouble. So, for example, if the default density is 4 you can increase
it to 3.6. You might have to add a little more pull comp if you start getting
thread breaks. Also, I find that using a 65/9 needle and 60 wt thread allows me
to increase density a bit more. And make sure you have short stitches
activated. Is this what you had in mind?

Subject: [amayausers] Font Density Chart
Hello,
I primarily sew on Pique' and Jersey knit Polo shirts. I was wondering if
there is anyone with a guide or a chart on the settings for the fonts or most
basic type of font settings. IF I use the fonts as in my design shop from the
drop down menu they simply do not look full enough. I would desire the edges of
the fonts to look more like saw toothed rather than smooth and full. I know
that ther are many factors to consider but I basically sew on 6oz. Pique. What
combinations work the best as far as settings and backings?
Thank you
Mark Houston
