I knew about BX fonts for Embrilliance, but I had no idea you could do this for free! Thank you!

I had been using a demo version of Embird on a PC. I'm a Mac gal so I was excited to learn about Embrilliance Essentials. I bought it yesterday. I also bought a few .bx fonts. Thanks so much for this super quick and easy video on how to install the .bx fonts. It is a great video and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I was a bit confused at first because I could already type a word. I realised my program came preloaded with a small number of fonts but darn I want more....lol.

I purchased Embrilliance Essentials not knowing JuJu offered it for FREE! I have purchased fonts from JuJu. I bought the font AVA and there are 6 sixes in BX. I unzipped and dragged the six selected files over but it only brought in the first one. It didn't even ask if I wanted any others. When I try to drag in the others even individually, all I get on the Embrilliance Essentials screen is a small black circle with a black line through it. Do you have any suggestions please? The one that did go in is there and is working just fine. Thank you.

ok perhaps this is the problem I do not have this font mapper tool.......one more question will the font mapper tool convert my fonts that I have bought other than the font collection from Embrilliance to the bx format as well?

@LindeeGVideos 9 жыл бұрын

Font Mapper is specifically designed to import stitch files in and allow you to map them to their corresponding keyboard equivalents. So any stitch file that Embrilliance can read can be imported and mapped. I think Font Mapper comes with the AlphaTricks module.

I downloaded the free version of Embrilliance to use my purchased fonts that are available in BX format. The program only shows an option to open "Working Files (BE). Did I miss something?

@LindeeGVideos 9 жыл бұрын

+Cathee Bresnahan - The free version is limited. To use BX fonts, you need to install them via the drag & drop process, not by opening them. It doesn't come with any pre-installed fonts.

Thank you for this video tutorial! I have all of my designs saved on my c drive in folders by digitizer. When I go to a specific folder to bring in a font I have tried to just drag the whole file and that doesn't work. When I double click on the file nothing is showing up at all inside that file when I am in the Embrilliance trial version but it does show what is in it if I am not in Embrilliance. This happens whether it is fonts or a design. Do I need to unzip the file first? I notice that you have your files on your desktop. Does that make a difference? Help! Thanks!

I just got Embrilliance Essestials what am I missing? Do I need to buy something else to get the use of BX files? I have gotten tons of fonts from places like Appilque Corner and what to use them. I don't seem to have the background that you moved to.

@LindeeGVideos 9 жыл бұрын

You need to use the Font Mapper tool to import fonts and assign them keyboard strokes. Do you have an icon on the toolbar that looks like a needle with a vertically stacked ABC next to it? Mind it just to the right of the Preferences icon. You may need to have AlphaTricks installed.

Hi, great video to show how to import bx files into Embrillance software. I have a few sets of pes fonts, how do we convert them to bx files?

@LindeeGVideos 9 жыл бұрын

You use the Font Mapper to import and align letter files. Actually don't even have to be letters!

@kellyhyatt8118 9 жыл бұрын

I have gone to the Embrilliance site several times with the link you have posted and cannot find anything on the bx or Embrilliance Express...... I already own the Essentials, Font Collection, Enthusiast, Density Repair and Artist 2, is that why I a not able to install or find the BX files?

@LindeeGVideos 9 жыл бұрын

As far as I know, there aren't any BX files on the Embrilliance website. If you have Essentials, you don't need Express, which I think is the demo version of Essentials. Many embroidery designers who make fonts/letters/alphabets are now including BX formats. I've added a link to my fonts in the description.

@kellyhyatt8118 9 жыл бұрын

I'm sorry Linda I don't think I understand, I have bought fonts and I have the Embrilliance softeware as mentioned before but I guess what I am asking is how do I convert the to BX formats if I bought the previously, I didn't know anything about BX until I just watched you video

@LindeeGVideos 9 жыл бұрын

Ahh. If you want to convert design files (say PES or VP3), click on the Font Mapper tool which looks like a needle with "ABC" stacked next to it. Should be just to the right of the Preferences icon on the tool bar. Then you'll import the font's letter files, assign keyboard strokes, and line them up. Lining them up is trickiest and don't do it until you've imported all the characters or you'll have to do it again. If you don't have the Font Mapper icon, contact Embrilliance through the Contact Us on their website.

Hi, I dragged a font onto Embrilliance and it didn't download... do you know why that happened? Thanks.

@LindeeGVideos 6 жыл бұрын

Was it a BX file? Only BX files will work. If you're having problems with Embrilliance, contact their support via their website: tinyurl.com/embrilliance101

Lindee, I have already got PE Design software on my laptop. When I have tried to download a BX font file from the internet it automatically loads on to the PE Design software and I am therefore unable to drag and drop the file in to the Embrilliance software. Do you have a way around this please. I have written to Embrilliance but they have not helped to resolve the problem. Thanks Anjee

@LindeeGVideos 8 жыл бұрын

Quit PE Design, then open Embrilliance. Find the BX file and drag and drop it onto the program. Most BX downloads are zipped, so you'll need to unzip first.

Lindee, Thanks for the quick reply, it was only after watching your KZfaq that it came to me like a bolt of lightening lol....... I had been downloading as PES and not BX ......Goodness me, phew....

I am using the free program for the moment and I am wondering how to delete fonts or how to import more than the 4 it allows me to import

Contact Embrilliance support through their website. I don't know the answer to that.

How did you move your import font over? From desktop? From where? and HOW?

@LindeeGVideos 9 жыл бұрын

This video just shows how to install a pre-made BX font, not how to import letter designs to build a font. You need to have Font Mapper to import design files to make a font. I don't have a video on that but I think Embrilliance does.

+Maggie Block once they're installed, they will be there on the menu when you next open the program. If that's not working for you, contact Embrilliance tech support on their website.

+Maggie Block please contact Embrilliance tech support. I'm not sure what you mean by "it will not dl any more." What doesn't download? Go to the Contact Us page, create a support ticket, and be as descriptive as possible about what exact is or isn't happening.
