Fonts Installation

Expert Handwriting Fonts includes an easy-to-use font installer. Just click on the drop-down list box and select a Font family. All the fonts available for that family are displayed in the larger box.

When you have chosen the fonts you want to install, select the font and then click on the Install Selected Font button.

To make multiple font selections, press the CTRL key while you click on the fonts you want to select. If you would like to see an example of the font, click on the Launch Font Browser button.

Please note: it is recommended that you do NOT have more than 20 fonts installed on your system at one time. Follow the Removing Fonts directions for more information on removing fonts.

[Windows 95 users: after you have installed the fonts, click on the Fonts icon in Control Panel to update the fonts folder. This should make all fonts visible in application.]


Click here to choose a font family. There are 12 font families to choose from.


These are the fonts available for the font families. Font families can have from 1 to 10 fonts.


Click here to install all the selected fonts to your system. Please refer to Removing Fonts, to remove unwanted fonts from your system.


This launches the font browser. The font browser lets you preview the fonts before installing them.


This exits from the Font Installer.


Font Browser

The Handwriting Fonts Browser lets you view the font styles before you load them to your system.  It is strongly recommended that you do NOT install more than 20 fonts at once.

To see the fonts in a specific category, simply click on the font category tab at the top of the screen. The All Fonts category displays all the fonts available on the CD. Use the Arrow buttons to scroll through the fonts in that particular category. Click on the Quit button to exit from the Font Browser and return to the Fonts Installer.


This closes the Font Browser and returns to the font installer.


These are the font categories. Click on a category to see an example of fonts in that category. Click on ALL FONTS to see all the fonts available in the program.


Click on these to scroll through the fonts available in the selected category. The list will repeat itself.


Removing Fonts

A typical TrueType font family requires about 5 kilobytes of Random Access Memory for installation. By family, that can mean up to four files: the plain, bold, italic and bold-italic files that correspond to the font styles. If you run Windows on a 386 or higher and have a normal-sized swap file, you should be able to load many fonts without experiencing a major performance penalty.

There is a problem, though: many applications allocate a relatively small amount of memory to hold the names of the fonts. For example, a well known bug in a major word processor has been affectionately called 'the pfont pfunnies.' When you use more than 255 different fonts in your open document(s), the program completely loses track and substitutes one font for another... for another... for another, and so on.

•	So for system memory considerations and for applications compatibility, it's sometimes best not to install too many fonts. If you find you need to remove a font or fonts, here's how to do it:

•	Removing fonts in Windows 3.1

•	Removing fonts in Windows 95


Windows 3.1

The Fonts dialog box allows you to manage the number of fonts installed on your computer and to remove fonts you no longer wish to use. Please note: Do not delete the default Windows fonts.

1. Double-click on the Control Panel icon located in your Main program group.

2. Double-click on the Fonts [image] icon.

3. The Fonts dialog box will appear. This dialog box lists all currently installed font files.

4. Highlight the fonts to be deleted. Use the CTRL key on your keyboard to select more than one font to be deleted. All selected fonts will be highlighted. Click on the Remove button.

5. The Remove Font dialog box will appear. Click on the Yes button to confirm the removal of the selected font. Click on the Yes to All button to confirm the removal of all selected fonts. Check the Delete Font File from Disk option to remove the font from the hard drive.


Windows 95

The Fonts dialog box allows you to manage the number of fonts installed on your computer and to remove fonts you no longer wish to use. Please note: do not delete the default Windows fonts.

1. On the Taskbar, click on the Start [image] button.

2. Point to the Settings folder and finally, point to and click on the Control Panels icon.

3. In the Control Panel window, double-click on the Fonts Folder icon. The Fonts window will appear. This window lists all currently installed font files.

4. Select the Font (or Fonts) to be removed from your system. Choose File-Delete. In the confirmation dialog box, click on the Yes button. The selected font(s) are removed from your system.

5. Click on Yes to confirm the removal of the selected fonts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Microsoft Works for Windows wont display all my fonts. Why?

MS Works allocates only 10 kilobytes of RAM for remembering the names of all the fonts installed in the system. If you have many, many fonts, ALL the font names disappears from the font list.  The only advice Microsoft offers to users with this problem is to delete fonts you don't use, or copy the fonts to disk and use them only when you need them.

None of my fonts show in any of my applications. How can I fix this?

Most likely the TrueType option is turned off. To check, open the Control Panel, choose the Fonts icon, and select the TrueType button. Be sure there is a check in the 'Enable TrueType Fonts' box. If not, click in the blank square and click on OK. You are then prompted to restart Windows for the changes to take effect.

Why do all the fonts look the same?

Windows normally won't tell you when you have too many fonts being loaded at start-up. However, when loading an excessive amount of fonts from various resources, some fonts might begin to show as the same generic font. When this happens, you have exceeded the amount of fonts (literally hundreds) that your computer can handle. Delete the fonts you don't use, or store them on disk and use them only when needed.

I have installed the TrueType fonts in Windows 95 and I cannot find them in my word processor.

After you have installed the fonts, click on the Fonts icon in Control Panel to update the fonts folder. This should make all fonts visible in application.

Im having problems with WordPerfect for Windows since I installed fonts.

WordPerfect offers you a choice of two completely different print drivers. The default is the WordPerfect driver. The WordPerfect driver uses only WP fonts -- not TrueType fonts. To use TrueType fonts with WordPerfect for Windows, you must use the Windows Print driver as configured in the Control Panel under Printers.

How to use Experts Help System

To select any of the help lessons, click with the mouse when you see the [image] cursor.

Expert help uses a visual system for providing you with information on the different screens and features of this program.

To obtain help on any topic, click on the Help menu from anywhere in the program or on the [image] icon. Doing so will bring up the appropriate help topic for the current screen that you are on.

Most of the major screens and dialog boxes in this program are reproduced in miniature form in this help file. As you pass the mouse cursor over the image, the arrow-pointer will change shape to that of a hand [image] indicating that you can click on that area. (This is called a hotspot.) For information on any field, button, hotspot, or feature, simply click on the area you are interested in and a pop-up description will appear or it will jump you to that specific topic. Ocassionally, you will see the Expert X ( [image]) in some portions of the help file preceded by click here; it will be a jump to another topic or location in the help file.

The pop-up or jump description may consist of up to 3 parts. They include:

1.	Definition and/or general information about the item you have selected.

2.	Action to take. Any instructions or options available for the topic.

3.	A link (usually in green) to a related topic. If further information is available for the item you have selected, the link will take you to the new topic of interest.

Another way of quickly accessing information for a particular topic is through the use of the glossary buttons located in the non-scrolling region at the top of every help screen. Clicking on each letter will provide you with a quick alphabetized index listing in a pop-up box.
