Installing fonts
¬
 
These are merely tips or suggestions for how you might install the font files created by Convert FONT.  You should consult your NeXT documentation for any definitive information.

¬

¬	If you have a font installation utility, you may be able to use it to install the font.

¬	If you have no font installation utilities, install the font by dragging it into an appropriate font folder (see below).  If it doesn't automatically appear in applications that you launch after installing the font, then run the buildafmdir program from a Terminal window.

¬	The buildafmdir program takes a directory as an argument.  So, after opening a window in the Terminal app, type something like:

		buildafmdir ~/Library/Fonts

	Note that you should use the name of the directory that you installed the font into (not necessarily ~/Library/Fonts).

¬	There are three standard places to install fonts into: /NextLibrary/Fonts, /LocalLibrary/Fonts or ~/Library/Fonts  (The ~ indicating your home folder).  /NextLibrary/Fonts contains fonts distributed by NeXT, and you probably will not want to install fonts in there.  /LocalLibrary/Fonts is where you would install the font if you want other users to use it.  If you install the font into ~/Library/Fonts, then you will be the only user that will be able to use it.  If you are using a multi user machine, you may not have permission to install in anything but ~/Library/Fonts.
