- 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.
-
-
