Fonts Installation

Expert CD 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 will be displayed in the larger box.

When youve 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.]

Removing Fonts

A typical installed TrueType font family requires about 5 kilobytes of Random Access Memory. 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, 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 both for system memory considerations, and for applications compatibility, sometimes it's 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

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.

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.

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


Types of Fonts

There are four basic types of fonts Serif, San Serif, Display and Script fonts.

•	Serif fonts are the easiest to read, and are most suitable for long documents such as school papers and business reports.

•	Sans Serif fonts are 'serious' in tone. Sans Serif fonts are best when you do not wish to distract from the message with a 'fancy' character.

•	Display fonts draw special attention to a word, and create an 'artsy' effect. Decorative fonts are best for when you need to place text in a special design such as a business or club logo.

•	Script fonts add elegance to your personal messages, invitations and thank you notes. These are best used for special occasions.


Frequently Asked Questions

How do I install PostScript fonts?

Double-click on the ATM Control Panel icon [image] to install the PostScript fonts. They are located in the WinPS directory on the CD-ROM under folders name after the fonts. Please note: if you do not have Adobe Type Manager you cannot install PostScript fonts.

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 will disappear from the font list.  The only advice Microsoft offers to users with this problem is 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 True Type option is turned off. To check, open the Control Panel, choose the Fonts icon, and select the True Type button. Be sure there is a check in the 'Enable True Type Fonts' box. If not, click in the blank square and click OK. You will then be 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 True Type fonts. To use True Type fonts with WordPerfect for Windows, you must use the Windows Print driver as configured in the Control Panel under Printers.
