- I just downloaded the Optima screen font zip file from Compuserve to use
- on my Windows 3.1 machine running Aldus PageMaker 4.0. After unzipping
- the file, I find that all the zip file consists of is .FON files. I then
- proceeded to install them using the Fonts Control Panel under the Main
- window. The installation completes and I see the Optima screen fonts in
- the installed list of fonts. When I click on these, the sample window
- shows me a sample of what the font looks like and at the bottm of the
- sample window, informs me that this is a screen or plotter font.
-
- The problem arises when I try to access the font in any other program.
- The installed Optima screen font does not appear in any of the font
- menus.
-
- Is there an additional step I have not taken?
-
- There were no installation instructions with the screen font zip file.
-
- Thanks in advance.
-
- Frank.
