How do I create single line script text within my design. Every time I create use a scripted font in Design Era the letters are not single. They give a bubble effect instead of one single line for the letters I am using. Please advise how to create single line text with the fonts available and imported fonts.
Thank you,

No automatic way to do it, unless you bring the text in as artwork already like that from a graphic program. Before you spend a lot of time on that though, using the Path tool in HFE will probably work just as quick if not quicker.

I agree with Daniel. I haven´t found a way to get the text to convert to a single line either. The easiest way I have found is to use the Path with Hotfix tool. if there are any duplicate letters or letters with the same shape (P and R), I just copy and past those paths in place and finish them off where needed. I hope this helps.

A couple of days ago I did discover under the "Hotfix- Hotfix Text" tab, the Digitized fonts. This would have been SUPER to know when I did the training for the software.
I had an issue with my machine and there was actually a Technician in the area and he came out to fix my machine....we were chatting about different things and how to create certain designs and he asked if I had ever tried looking in the digitized fonts. I told him that I had no idea they even existed and it will now make certain designs sooo much easier.
I´m sure y´all already know about this section of the software, but for me I am just discovering it and will absolutely utilize it first from now on.
