Adding more fonts? I was under the impression that I could drag and drop TTF files. but my XP PC is not letting me do that. Is there a connection setting I need to alter?

Called the iRiver folks (who seem to know less about this than me) and I managed to figure it out:Here's what you do:1. Connect your Clix 2 to your PC via USB.2. Open up the Data folder on your Clix 2.3. Open up the Windows\Fonts folder on your PC.4. Create a new folder on your desktop called Fonts.5. Drag and drop whichever fonts you want from your PC to the Fonts folder on your desktop.6. Drag and drop the Fonts folder from your PC's desktop to the Data folder on your Clix.7. Whatever fonts were in the Fonts folder on your desktop will be automatically transferred to the Media\Fonts folder on your Clix.

I would assume the same process would work with multiple fonts. And, yes, I discovered the restart issue--thanks for the tip about UCI.

That did it, Adam! Times New Roman looks great. Wondering about adding another font--would the new folder have to have both the new font and Times New Roman inside? DougUpdate: I found that when you do a restart, the basic font shows up and you have to select the new one again. I can't be bothered with that. :-(Update update: I found that you can save the font. On the Display options screen under Fonts you'll see Save UCI. Click OK on next screen. The End (I hope)

I don't have it handy to test, but from what I recall about a month ago, it worked on Ubuntu 12.04. However the double characters on a single key press problem remained as far as I remember. Sorry can't help more.

I've bought a bunch of fonts and patterns from the internet and downloaded them to a Brother folder (broken into other folders like alphabets, kids, animals, flowers, etc.) on my laptop. Once I'm done downloading, I always make a back up copy by copying the folder to a flash drive (which I labeled brother with white out). As long as you realize you want to buy something for your specific machine or size (i.e., my Brother SE400 will only make up to 4x4 patterns) you can get anything you want out there. FYI, in case you haven't seen them -- on the Brother site, they have free downloads every month. I've downloaded flowers, appliques, etc. for my machine. I hope this helps. K

You can change the font size with just about any computer, though it can get tricky. My eyes are bad and I like to sit up real close to the computer myself, so I understand the concern. I have the 20 inch model and it is fine for me.

http://gnomad2.sourceforge.net/ I wrote a quick patch for it that improves stiletto support. Let me know if you need it if you can't seem to get it to work with its original code. You can also run the windows software under wine; you just need to change a few things in order to do so. Email me if you need help :)

Yes I have it on 8 (Not tested on 8.1) Drag/drop from desktop to folders doesn't work, but copy and paste to folder does. Windows 8 protection thing.

Yes, you tell them what font you want; however, I don't know all the fonts that are available. I chose a simple font.

Do you have Acrobat Reader or Professional? I'm not sure if Reader has highlighting ability, and I can't check since I have professional, but the highlighting tools should be under Comments > Comment

Why don't you just make the font bigger? Go to control panel, display, settings, and increase your font size. Viola!

You know, I have noticed the same thing. I haven't tried to make my less fuzzy, I just re-type whatever I'm doing into my new Printshop. Or I use Notepad or Word. I think I still have 1 that I use, but plan to reprint it as soon as I have the time. Sorry I can't help you on this. Seems like there should be a way, but I even tried different fonts and it didn't change the fuzziness. Charlene

Take a card reader and drop DTG files directly with file drag and drop. Supposedly you might also be able to sync address book through outlook as well. Don't bother with the hotsync prog since it's not supported (yet?) in V. Can't help with the Palm but the card trick works with DTG. Keep files in MSW 1 version below. Don't put any HTML formatting or macros if possible. That'll help avoid reinstalling from crashing when any of the above are in a W file.SD card readers as low as $7 when recycling an ink cartridge at Office Depot.

You would not be able to open a pes design on your computer unless you have a softeare. This one is great to work with and is very easy to use. You can even merge your fonts with this program. Good luck!

This unit uses fonts that are on your computer. If you have Chinese fonts, then I believe it would print what you put in the text box. I was able to change the fonts to whatever I wanted. I was also able to change the size based on the size of the tape I was using.

I've never been able to load to it. It's a simple word processor like "notepad" (it's only got rudimentary stuff like create and export). Editing (on a four sentence old school display) is virtually impossible. That's why it's mostly used as a fast drafting tool.

Yes! Go to Tools, then click on Options. You will find many options and one is to change font size. Hope this helps.

I was gonna say that! :-)It is possible to designate that the NXT software be run on Vista in XP compatibility mode. I'm not going to describe it here unless there is specific interest it going that way. The 1.1 version is worth the investment for other reasons, so it should be your first choice. The new software may even be included in the more recent shipments without the need to contact customer service.

Ours offers two different fonts; F1 and F2. If you hold down on the Font option and press OK, it should save the Font for you.
