Before you can install TrueType fonts in System 6. you will need to obtain the TrueType INIT from your Apple dealer or an on-line service. On AOL, look for Truetype Disk #1 and Truetype Disk #2.
Drag the TrueType INIT into your System folder and choose ╥Restart" from the Finder's Special menu to install it.
Note: You must have at least System 6.0.5 in order to use the TrueType INIT.
Another requirement for installing TrueType fonts in System 6 is that you have Font/DA Mover 4.1, which is available from your Apple dealer. No earlier version of Font/DA Mover is capable of handling TrueType fonts.
1. Quit all open programs. You can't make changes to the System file while programs that use fonts are open.
2. Double-click on the TrueType suitcase (the one with .suit appended to the end of its name) to start Font/DA Mover 4.1. Your TrueType outline appears as a font name without a size number after it. while any bitmap sizes you may have in the file show up with their size numbers after them. You may choose to install all the bitmap sizes or none of them. Remember that TrueType fonts do not depend upon the bitmaps to properly display a screen image of the font.
3. Click the Open button and then open your System file.
4. Select all the fonts you want to install by dragging through their names.
5. Click the Copy button to copy the fonts from your suitcase into the System file.
