How to Use Dingbats and Fonts with ROBO Master

Dingbats are fonts that have symbols instead the regular alphabet. Wingdings and Webdings are examples of dingbats that come with your regular word processor. Also, you can download hundreds of free dingbats from the Internet.

If you have ROBO Master software, follow these instructions (the same apply to any other True Type font) to use dingbats:

1. Open ROBO Master.
2. Create a New Document.
3. Choose the T for text.
4. From the Text Settings window, choose your dingbat. If you don’t remember the name of the font or if you want to see how the font looks, just click on the box next to Font. Then, using the arrow keys from keyboard, move down. Keep pressing the down arrow key until you find the font that you like.
   Change the Font Size or Height of your font. If you want a mirror image of your font, check the box that says X Mirror. The Outline option should be always checked if you want to cut. Click OK.
5. Now you are back to the main screen. Click on the page to make your image available for formatting.
6. If you want to resize your image, position your mouse over the red square, click, hold down the mouse button and drag it to the desired size. Also, you can right-click on your image and from the menu select Position Settings… In the Position window, change the Size of your image. If you want to keep the proportions of the original image, click on the Hold aspect ratio box to check it. OK.
7. You are back to the main screen again. Move the image by clicking on top of it and dragging it to the desired position.
8. Your image is ready to cut like you do with any other image.

Note: You don’t have to install your fonts (dingbats or not) to your computer in order to use them with ROBO Master; just look for your font in the Fonts folder and double-click to open it. Minimize that window. If you have ROBO Master open, you’ll see the name of the font listed among the fonts installed in your computer. You can use it to cut as long as you keep the font open in the other window. Make a note in the document about the name of the font that you used for future reference.
