Installation Instructions
These directions are for WINDOWS.
If you are not installing into windows, consult your manual
for the given application.
The following are general directions. It is recommended that
you copy the fonts that you wish to use from the CD-ROM to your
hard disk. However, you can also use these fonts directly from
the CD-ROM - but remember installing them this way REQUIRES
that the CD-ROM be present whenever you use that font.
The file "SAMP_INI.TXT" file is included as an example PostScript
Font "complete" install of all 125 fonts (note w: and other path
information will need to be updated for your install.) Copy/cut, and
paste from this file as you find necessary.
***************************************************************************
TrueType Fonts "TT"
While running Windows, Run the "Control Panel" from the "Main" window.
In the "Control Panel" select the "Fonts" and choose "add..."
Locate the font you are adding and thats it!
***************************************************************************
Type One Fonts "PS"
In order for these fonts to be useful you need either ATM (or a similar
utility) or a PostScript Printer.
To install these fonts follow these directions. It is recommended
that you make a PSFONTS directory and a "PFM" subdirectory of "PSFONTS"
on your hard drive. It is also recommended that you have ATM.
1. Copy the "(Your font).PFB" file to your \PSFONTS directory.
2. Copy the "(Your font).PFM" file to your \PSFONTS\PFM directory. (You
can ignore the .AFM file since it is not useful with Windows. It may be
useful to people running GEM applications, however.)
***************************************************************************
If you have ATM:
3. Open the ATM Control Panel and "Add..." the font to your list of ATM
fonts. You will have to open the \PSFONTS\PFM directory to allow ATM to
see your font.
4. If you have a PostScript printer, the following will be necessary. If
your printer does not have PostScript, ignore this step. Open your
WIN.INI file with the Windows Notepad program. (Do you have a backup of
it? If not, make one now.) At the end of the "softfonts" list, you will
see something like:
softfonts5=c:\psfonts\pfm\"(Your font).PFM"
You'll need to change this to:
softfonts5=c:\psfonts\pfm\(Your font).PFM,c:\psfonts\(Your font).PFB
Doing this allows the Windows PostScript driver to find your .PFB file
and download it to your PostScript printer. DO NOT use a semicolon
between the two entries or you will cause some rather unpleasant
problems.
You should now exit Windows and restart. Your font will now show up in
your Windows programs' font menus and you'll be able to choose it and
use it like any other font. ATM will allow you to see the font in all
sizes and print it smoothly at all sizes.
***************************************************************************
If you don't have ATM (but have a PostScript Printer):
In your Windows directory, edit WIN.INI under:
[PostScript,LPT1]
If the next line (or soon after) reads:
softfonts=15
then change it to
softfonts=16
if there is no softfonts= line then add one:
softfonts=1
Then go down past the last current listing (i.e. softfont16=xxxx)
And add the following line
softfont16=x:\pfm-path\newfont.pfm,x:\pfb-path\newfont.pfb
Example:
softfonts=2
softfont1=c:\psfonts\pfm\wharmby_.pfm,c:\psfonts\wharmby_.pfb
softfont2=c:\psfonts\pfm\andesite.pfm,c:\psfonts\andesite.pfb
