KidArt: Typefaces
General
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM KIDART: TYPEFACES
KidArt fonts are unique, complex and more demanding on your system
resources than simple fonts. They are designed to work well with most
computers and applications at most reasonable character sizes. Newer
printers will work well but some will print more slowly.
Remember that if you experience a problem, there are three potential
sources:
The number of different fonts on one page
The size of the fonts
The complexity of the fonts
Reduce any of these to try to isolate the problem.
GENERAL NOTES
1) You don't have to install all the fonts when you begin installing
Typefaces; you can install fonts that you require currently and
bring the others in at any time.
2) All font names have a prefix KA so that they appear together in
the system fonts menu. (This prefix, however, is ignored in most
references to the fonts.)
3) The fonts are designed specifically for kids, so not all characters
are included in every set. If a character is not included, a
rectangle will appear on the screen when the key is struck.
Printer Notes
1) PostScript Printers:
From within Windows Control Panel, select Printers, highlight your
printer under "Installed printers:" Select Setup; Option; Advanced. In
the "Send to Printer as" window, select Bitmap(Type 3).
2) HP LaserJet II series printers and compatibles:
From within Windows Control Panel, select Printers, highlight your
printer under "Installed printers:" Select Setup; Option. Check the box
next to "Print TrueType as Graphics."
3) Dot matrix printers
Use the highest resolution available.
Macintosh
FONT INSTALLATION
On your diskette are two folders nested with the KidArt Typefaces
folder:
lEPrimary Fonts
lESecondary Fonts
1) Quit all programs that are open.
2) Insert the CD in the CD-ROM drive.
3) Locate the font you want to install on the CD-ROM and drag it onto
the closed System Folder icon on your startup disk. You can click
multiple font icons while holding down the Shift key to select more
than one font.
4) A dialog box appears letting you know that the fonts will be stored
appropriately. Click OK.
5) Remove the CD-ROM and store in a safe place.
FONT REMOVAL
1) Depending on the version of your system software, locate the font to
be removed in your System file, Fonts Folder, Extension Folder or
your System Folder.
2) Drag it to the Trash.
Windows
FONT INSTALLATION
1) Insert the CD-ROM into a CD-ROM drive.
2) From the Windows Program Manager select the FILE menu.
3) From the FILE menu choose RUN.
4) In the Command Line box type D:\INSTLL.EXE (note the absence of a
letter 'A') and press ENTER.
The letter D: is your CD-ROM drive. If your CD-ROM drive letter is
other than D: substitute accordingly. For example if your drive is
E: you would type E:\INSTLL.EXE in the Command Line box.
5) The Master Installer program will appear on your screen. Select the
KidArt Font Installer from the installation list and then click on
the INSTALL button.
This will activate the Fonts Installer program. From the fonts
installer choose the typefaces you wish to install and press the
install button.
To remove typefaces, choose the fonts you wish to remove and press the
Uninstall Fonts button.
