I have the Deco 650. What do you want to know about the fonts? The biggest limitation of the machine is the 4 inch restriction on the patterns. Since I owned the original deco and have way to much money tied up in additional memory cards and a Magic box for converting other systems I went with the 650. It is a slight upgrade. In the beginning I used my Decos almost daily. Now it may be months before I bother with embrodery. I did make one quilt using embroidered blocks. I purchased my first Deco in the very early 90's. If my daughter ever gets around to having a baby I will probably get a lot of use out of my machine again. My other grandchildren are 12 and 16. The thing I like best about the Deco is that you can be running the embroidery machine while you are also sewing or serging on your other machines. I hate to have to convert a machine from one set up to the other.

My machine has three different fonts. The first looks like typing and second is more stylized like the way Europeons print with the accent marks etc. All of the fonts have puncituation marks etc. The third is all capital letters but looks like cross stitch. You enter each letter into the program individually and there is a place to enter a space between letters or words. The machine will only allow you to put as many letters in as will fit the 4inch space. The letters come in three different sizes S,M,L.
My machine also has at least 35 designs in addition to the three alphabets and 10 different frames with a varitey of decorative stitches to use with the frames. They range from children friendly designs to some adult types and home deco stuff etc.
