I think you are talking apples and oranges. A FONT on an embroidery machine is a special file, often built in. It recognizes that an "A" is the letter "A". You can type words and letters to make phrases and select different sizes.
The ALPHABETS that you buy on line at the sites listed above are sets of 26 INDIVIDUAL DESIGNS. Your machine would not recognize that an "A" is an "A". The designs are treated just like an embroidery design of a dog or a butterfly. To do a monogram, you would select 3 of the designs from the set, not type the 3 letters. If your machine is capable of resizing designs (where enlarging a design results in more stitches), then you can change the size. If your embroidery machine will just scale the image, (where making a design larger will result in the same number of stitches, just bigger) then you are limited to the recommended resizing of 20% larger or smaller to preserve design integrity. In this case you would need an embroidery program for your computer, such as Embird.

Sorry if I misunderstood your post and you already know this :P
