Font Review 2.01 --* Double click font viewing for Windows 95 and NT 4.0 * -- Lose Your Mind Development Bryan T. Kinkel Post Office Box 302 Haverford, PA 19041-0302 ORDERS via Compuserve: GO SWREG ORDERS via Phone: (713) 524-6394 (c) copyright 1996 by Bryan T. Kinkel INTRODUCTION ------------ Thank you for taking the time to download this software package. FontReview 2.0 is a new utility for both Windows 95 and NT 4.0. With this 32 bit software installed, you can view, print and install any TrueType font directly from the Explorer interface. Recent version changes can be found at the bottom of this file. After FontReview is installed on your 95 / NT 4.0 system, you can look at uninstalled TrueType fonts on any storage medium. It works with TTF files on floppy, CD-ROMs and hard drive directories. If the font is not installed, you can install it with two clicks! FontReview includes a comprehensive UNINSTALL program, so we encourage you to install it on your system and give it a trial run. If you don't like the FontReview (we suspect you will!), you can easily remove the program from your computer. This README.TXT file contains important information for new users as well as shareware distributors. Please take the time to read through it. INSTALL/UNINSTALL AND SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ------------------------------------ To install FontReview, you need a computer running Windows 95 or NT 4.0. We recommend at least a 486/66 machine with 8 megabytes of memory. If you downloaded this software from a BBS, you will also need a copy of VB40032.DLL. This file can be found on Compuserve (WINUTIL, VB432DLL.ZIP ) and on various Internet Web/FTP sites. (We recommend www.windows95.com. This is a superior Windows95/NT specific location.) To install FontReview: 1. Create a temporary directory and unzip the distribution .ZIP file to that directory. 2. Double click the SETUP.EXE icon found in that temporary directory. This program will install FontReview on your computer. 3. After you have installed FontReview, you can delete the temporary directory and the SETUP.EXE file. 4. We recommend placing the distribution .ZIP file on a backup floppy in case you need to reinstall FontReview. If you need to uninstall FontReview, click the "Add/Remove Programs" icon in your Windows95 Control Panel. From the list, select FontReview. This will run the uninstaller. The uninstaller removes program files and removes changes made to the Windows Registry. RUNNING FONTREVIEW ------------------ Because FontReview is accessed through the Windows95 Explorer interface (it is a "shell extension"), it does not have a Start Menu item like Microsoft Word or Corel Draw. To see FontReview in action, open a folder containing uninstalled TrueType TTF files. A CD-ROM filled with TrueType fonts will do nicely. If you right click on a TTF file, you will notice three new menu items. "Print", "Open", and "Install." If you click "Open" (or double click the TTF file), this will bring up the main FontReview window. From here you can see what your uninstalled font file looks like! If you press the F1 key, it will open the FontReview online help file. The help file tells you more about using FontReview! SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTION ---------------------- Because this is a shareware application, we encourage users and companies to distribute this program. If you are a commercial shareware distributor or online service (BBS, Web, FTP site, etc), please refer to the information in the file VENDINFO.DIZ. This file explains the terms of distribution for this software. VENDINFO.DIZ also contains standard descriptions for the software. We ask that you use this text for your online descriptions and catalog text in reference to FontReview.
