Installing Fonts in Windows
System Requirements
- OpenType fonts work with Windows XP and
Windows 2000.
- TrueType fonts work with all versions
of the Windows operating system.
- To use PostScript Type 1 fonts, you need
to install Adobe Type Manager (ATM) or ATM Deluxe. If you are
running Windows XP or 2000, you do not need to install ATM since
it is part of the operating system already.
- You can use a font management utility
to install and manage your fonts. If you are running Windows NT,
you can install PostScript fonts directly into the Windows Fonts
folder.
After installing fonts, you may need to restart an application
or reselect the printer in the application to make the fonts appear
in the font list. If you are having problems installing fonts under
Windows, click here for more

Installing OpenType or TrueType Fonts in Windows
We recommend installing only one format - OpenType, TrueType, or
PostScript - of a font. Installing two or more formats of the same
font may cause problems when you try to use, view, or print the font.
- Choose Start
> Settings> Control
Panel
Note: In Windows XP, choose Start
> Control Panel, and switch to Classic View.
- Double-click the Fonts folder.
- Choose File>
Install New Font.
- Locate the fonts you want to install.
- In the Drives
list, select the drive and the folder containing the fonts
you want to install.
- In the Folders
list, select a folder that contains the fonts you want to
install. The fonts in the folder appear under List of Fonts.
(If you downloaded the fonts from Bitstream, this is the folder
where you stored the files after you unpacked them.)
- Select the fonts to install. To select
more than one font, hold down the CTRL key and click each font.
- To copy the fonts to the Fonts folder,
make sure the Copy fonts to the Fonts folder
check box is selected.
Note: If installing fonts from a floppy
disk or a CD-ROM, you should make sure this check box is selected.
Otherwise, to use the fonts in your applications, you must always
keep the disk in the disk drive.
- Click OK to
install the fonts.
