-
- 1. Create (or select) the directory in which you want the font files to
- appear. It must be available whenever Windows is running.
-
- 2. Copy into this directory the TrueType font files you want to evict
- from the Windows directory. (Note: this means the *.TTF files only.
- Don't copy the *.FOT files.)
-
- 3. From the Windows MAIN -> CONTROL PANEL -> FONTS dialog, remove the fonts
- you wish to evict. Remember to check the box which asks if you want to
- erase the files from your system. This will remove both the .TTF and
- .FOT files from WINDOWS\SYSTEM.
-
- 4. From the same dialog box, click the ADD... button to open the Font Add
- dialog box. Specify the directory you copied the .TTF files to in
- step 1; the dialog will list all the available fonts in that directory.
- Select the desired fonts (or click SELECT ALL) and *uncheck* the box
- which asks if the installer should copy the font files to the Windows
- directory. Click OK.
-
- This will still leave one (relatively small) .FOT file in your Windows
- directory for each TrueType font, but will keep the huge .TTF font files
- away.
