IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
******************************
There are two steps that you must follow to install your new
fonts into Microsoft Windows:
Step 1: You must install the actual font files into
your Windows "system" directory by using the
setup program contained on the program disk.
Step 2: After the files are installed on your hard
drive, you must then access the Windows
"Control Panel" to install the fonts into the
Windows operating system.
Quick instructions for both of these steps are contained in
this document. If you need more help, please refer to your
product manual for additional details.
IMPORTANT: Your new fonts are stored on the program disks in
compressed format to save space. Do not try to copy the files
manually. The setup program will uncompress and install the
font files into your system directory.
******************************
STEP ONE: THE SETUP PROGRAM
******************************
As mentioned above the first step is to install the actual
font files on to your hard drive in the system directory.
To do so, insert the main program disk into your 3-1/2 inch
disk drive on Drive A or Drive B.
From Windows "Program Manager" (the first Window that appears
on screen whenever you start Microsoft Windows), select the
"FILE" menu option on the left side of the menu bar which is
located at the top of the screen. A list of menu items will
appear.
Now select the "RUN" menu item and a text entry box will
pop into view. Locate your mouse cursor on the text entry
box and click your left mouse button one time to fix the
cursor inside the box.
If you did everything right, the cursor will change from an
"arrow" into a flashing "i-beam". If not, click on the box
again until the mouse cursor changes shape.
Type the following command to start the Fonts! Fonts! Fonts!
setup program:
A:\SETUP ( and then press the ENTER key )
Or, if your program disk is located in Drive B, substitute
the letter "B" for "A". Do not type any of the text which
follows the word "setup". Simply press the ENTER key after
the setup command has been entered.
At this time, the setup program will begin. Follow the on
screen instructions to install the font files on your hard
drive. If you need any additional help, refer to the program
manual.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Microsoft Windows will expect to find your font files in the
Windows "system" directory.
If you installed Microsoft Windows in the default directory
location (i.e. you did not change any of the settings during
the installation), then C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM will be the default
directory where Windows will locate your fonts when it needs
them. Press the ENTER key or click your mouse on the "OK"
button to install the fonts into C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.
If you installed Microsoft Windows on a different disk drive
or in a custom directory of your own choosing, then type in
the full path to the "system" directory in the text entry box.
Press the ENTER key or click your mouse on the "OK" button to
install the fonts.
The setup program will now install the font files on your hard
drive. When the setup program is over, you will be prompted to
create a new Windows program group for Fonts! Fonts! Fonts!
Select the "OK" button or press the ENTER key to install this
document and the special "True Type Viewer" program into the
new program group.
***************************************************
STEP TWO: USE CONTROL PANEL TO INSTALL THE FONTS
***************************************************
After your fonts are installed on your hard drive, they must be
installed into the Windows operating system before they can be
used. If this is a confusing notion, then compare your new font
files to a tray of freshly baked cookies. They are just out of
the oven but you still have to put them on a serving tray before
you can eat them.
Windows fonts can be added and removed at any time with a special
Fonts utility which is found in your Windows Control Panel. Full
instructions on how to use the Control Panel Fonts program are
contained in your product manual with illustrations. Please
refer to your manual at this time.
If you are already familiar with the Fonts installation utility,
here is a quick summary of the steps which you must follow:
1. Double-click your mouse on the "Main" program
group to locate the "Control Panel" icon.
2. Double-click on the "Control Panel" icon.
3. Double-click on the "Fonts" icon.
4. When the Fonts window appears, click your mouse
on the "ADD" button.
5. Click your mouse on the "System" subdirectory
which appears in the list box in the lower left
corner of the Fonts window.
6. Double click your mouse on the name of any font
that you want to install.
7. After the font is installed, it will appear in a
"Sample" box at the bottom of the Window. If you
do not want to use the font, select the "Remove"
button.
8. After you install the fonts that you want to use,
close all Windows and return to Program Manager.
Thank you for using this CompuWorks software program!
