Did you ever get the WINE version of ScanFont5? I found in while cleaning out my download file and can post it for you... it's 75MB so it will have to go to my dropbox account for you to grab it. PM me if you want it.

I've downloaded Scanfont and TypeTool3. I was happy to see there were no problems with Windows 8 and have been able to successfully convert several images to fonts and place in a project. I have however run into a couple of images that when I try to increase the size of the font character to a size that is legible the images disappears in designer. This rose I was able to successfully stretch to about 7x7".

However when I create this lilly I can only stretch it to just under 2x2" or the image disappears in designer. Is this image to large or detailed to work using this process? Any suggestions on different settings to make it work?

Thank you very much. I'll play around with changing sizes and resolution on my images and see if that gets around it. I'm guessing that it's not a limitation of the software but just what I'm giving it. At least I now know that it doesn't have anything to do with the characteristics of the picture.
