Russell, Converting your alphabets is done by going to Tools/Convert alphabets. Has nothing to do with TT fonts. It removes the digitized lock stitches. Go to the code sheet for your Melco alphabets. Explains what happens with digitized lock stitches and using the lock/trim parameters.

I have converted True Type fonts before and had a problem with the stitches coming out so I am being extra careful.

Russell Depends on whether you have converted your alphabets. There are lock stitches digitized in all the Melco alphabets. If you have not converted (removed) these you will not have any problems.

Hi all, I did some lettering using the Garamond font from DesignShop and under lock/Trim properties the lock setting was on none, am I going to have a problem with stitches coming out, if so what can I do about it before I give it to my customer? I usually have that setting to always by default but somehow it got changed back. Thanks in advance Russell Silva R. S. Embroidery 508-222-4433
