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.
PURCHASING & PRICING
--------------------

Mind Development, an Association of Shareware Professionals member.

find it of value. If it is a utility you feel you will use in your home

the uninstall program and remove it from your computer system.
