My thought is that when you pull in a TT font into DS, it's converting or "autodigitizing" (no such thing really) and there are way too many points, then you're adding more automated instructions like underlay, which might be the culprit causing the crash --- i.e. too many short stitches in one area, or too short and too long. I would like to see the software companies cease advertising their digitizing programs to claim automatic punching. My car is an automatic but it doesn't get me to my destination without some serious assistance on my part. I've yet to find a program that even almost automates digitizing correctly. Lettering is one of the items in embroidery that needs to be done well to look good -- and without a skilled digitizer manually programming the correct instructions for a clean route, the file is vulnerable to corruption and crashing the program, not to mention the jig your machine would be doing if it were to try and sew out t he file.
