Scaling

When using the lettering tool, scaling of the font is controlled by allowing a scaling percentage range.

If you try to further decrease or increase the font size outside the lettering tool, the result might not embroider correctly.

The lettering tool will allow you to scale Monicha down to 100% for a size of approximatively 24 mm (0.94 in), and up to 150% for a size of approximatively 36.0 mm (1.4 in).

Special Features

Monicha is our first font with alternative characters.

For instance, these are different ways to write the firstname Sasha.

The parentheses

The two usual parentheses ( and ) are binded to monica parentheses

Monicha contains also one more alternative versions of the letters a-z and A-Z.

However, some restrictions on the use of these alternative letters should be observed to avoid overlapping satin columns.

How to access the alternative letters

There are four alternative letter families: alt1, alt2, alt3, and alt4.

For example, you’ll get two alternative versions of the name Sasha by typing in the lettering (Sash.alt2a.alt3) (i.e., S a s h.alt2 a.alt3 - but don’t type the spaces) or Sa.alt3sh.alt3a.alt1

alt1: Small swashes

All lowercase letters have a small swash version that works particularly well on the last letter of a word.

Little Scarf

In the lettering, for example, type a.alt1 instead of a if you want to use this alternative version of a.

alt2: Curly swashes : b-d-h-k-l-t i-j-o-r-y

The rising letters (b-d-h-k-l-t) have an alternative version with a backward curly upper swash. The two preceding letters can not be a capital letter or another rising letter.

The alternative versions of i, j, r, and y have a backward curly low swash. They must not, on two letters, be followed by a descending letter (d-g-p-q-y-z).

Long Scarf Underlining

Exceptions to the restrictions: The image above also shows ligatures that have been added to the font: l&l.alt2 r&i.alt2 t&h.alt2 t&t.alt2

alt3: Long or Medium Underscore a-c-d-e-h-i-k-l-m-n-o-r-t-u g-j-y

Letters with an underscore must not be followed by a descending letter or another letter with an underscore. For long underscores, the prohibition extends to the following two letters.
