THE RISS TRUETYPE FONT PAK, VOL. #1
-----------------------------------
For help installing this product, we've listed additional
instructions below. Please read the section titled
"INSTALLING THE FONTS".
WHAT IS THE RISS TRUETYPE FONT PAK?
-----------------------------------
With the advent of Windows 3.1, Windows now offers built-in
support for new and improved scalable typefaces called
TrueType Fonts. The fonts are wonderful because they give an
accurate representation, on screen, of what a document will
look like once printed. These fonts provide true "WYSIWYG"
("What you see is what you get"). Because the fonts are
scalable, any characters in a TrueType font can be quickly
and easily sized to be as big or as small as desired!
The RISS TrueType Font Pak, Vol. #1, is a package
containing several unique and interesting TrueType fonts for
use with Windows 3.1. Once these fonts are installed, they
become an integrated part of Windows, and can be used with
any application that supports TrueType fonts (most do).
The fonts in this package can be used to jazz up any
document, brochure, poster, letter, etc. Several of the
fonts are interesting and unique "informal" fonts, for adding
that special touch, while others are very beneficial for
adding the proper typeface to an important business document
or presentation.
OTHER RISS FONT PAK COLLECTIONS
---------------------------------------
As previously mentioned, Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc.
has developed several Font Pak collections similar to
RISS Font Pak #1. As of the date of release of this product,
we currently have three (3) Font Pak collections available,
with several more already under development and near
completion.
Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc. offers a special discount
on other Font Pak collections that are registered at the
same time as RISS Font Pak #1. When registering RISS Font
Pak #1, if a user registers RISS Font Pak #2 at the same
time, we include RISS Font Pak #3 for FREE! Considering the
savings, including S&H, this amounts to HALF OFF the normal
price! Of course, the disks that are sent are the fully
registered "Deluxe" versions of the Font Paks, containing
all of the fonts found in the shareware version, plus the
extra ones sent in the "Deluxe" version as well! Please
see the registration form (REGISTER.WRI) for more
information.
INSTALLING THE FONTS
--------------------
The RISS Font Pak is shipped with a comprehensive
installation program to automate traditional installation.
To install the package, you must be in the Windows
environment. You will use the SETUP program supplied as
part of the package, to install it.
From Program Manager's main window, select "File". This
will cause a menu to drop down. Next, select "Run...".
A dialog box will pop up requeting a "Command Line".
If the files are on a floppy disk, insert the diskette
into the A: or B: drive, as appropriate and type either
"A:\SETUP" or "B:\SETUP", respectively (do not type the
quotes). You must execute the "SETUP" program that is
located on the diskette.
If the files are in a directory on a hard drive, enter the
full drive and directory path to where the files are located
such as "C:\TEMP\SETUP".
Please note that these are just examples -- the directory
names and drives will certainly be different for each
individual computer. The above examples are for
illustrative purposes only.
After entering the command to execute SETUP, press the
ENTER key or click on the "OK" button. At this point SETUP
will handle the entire process of installing the files.
That's all there is to it! The installation program
automatically detects the necessary system settings, and
performs the installation unattended. The fonts in this
package will automatically be included in the list of
TrueType fonts that are available for use in any program
that supports them.
