    • Give your font a name (e.g., “Artapli ABC”)

  4. Import Each Letter

    • For each letter (A–Z, numbers, etc.):

      • Click the letter key you want to assign

      • Click Import and browse to your file (e.g., A.DST, B.PES, etc.)

      • Position and adjust the baseline if needed

      • Save the character

    • Repeat for all characters you want to include

    • Your new font will now appear in your lettering tool dropdown menu

  6. Use Your New Font

    • Go to Lettering Tool

    • Choose your new font name
