I'm sorry, I've obviously not made my intentions clear. I'm trying to do 2
separate exercises, whichever one works will be used.
Until very recently, I had only the very old customiser for my Husqvarna
Rose, which contained only a couple of fonts. When my daughter wanted her
coffee shop name embroidered in the Pristina font, I was given the words as
embroidery files, but in pes., which keeps being rejected by the Husqvarna.
Having now acquired the new software and reader/writer, I thought I could
import the font, and make the embroidery that way. however, although I have
the font in my computer now, I still haven't found a way to connect it to
the 3D system, which has a set of fonts quite separately from the pc ones,
and doesn't include Pristina.
Then I thought instead I could convert the pes. files to hus, or vp3, or
whatever, but haven't been able to import them because they're in the wrong
format.
I know I'm just not doing the right thing to make either of these exercises
work, but I haven't found anything in the manual to help solve either
problem.
Thanks for the help. Joyce in RSA.

In 3D Organizer, find and select the "pes" file (by single clicking on
it). Then, select "Convert to Embroidery" from the "File" menu and
select "hus" or "vp3" and convert the file.
