• System Requirements
• Installing OpenType or TrueType fonts in Windows
• Installing PostScript fonts in Windows XP/2000
• Installing PostScript fonts in Windows Me/98/95 and Windows NT

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.

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.

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.

1. Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel
   
   Note: In Windows XP, choose Start > Control Panel
    
   
2. Double-click the Fonts folder.
    
   
3. Choose File > Install New Font.
    
   
4. 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. (Make sure you have unzipped them first.) The fonts in the folder appear under List of Fonts.
      
     
5. Select the fonts to install. To select more than one font, hold down the CTRL key and click each font.
    
   
6. 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.
    
   
7. Click OK to install the fonts.

Installing PostScript Type 1 Fonts in Windows XP or 2000

PostScript Type 1 support is built into Windows XP and Windows 2000.

1. Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel
   
   Note: In Windows XP, choose Start > Control Panel
    
   
2. Double-click the Fonts folder.

Installing PostScript Type 1 Fonts in Windows Me/98/95 or Windows NT

If you are running Windows Me/98/95, or Windows NT, you must use ATM (Adobe Type Manager) to install PostScript Type 1 fonts. You can download Adobe’s freely distributable ATM Light for Windows from Adobe’s Web site.

If you are running Windows XP or 2000, you do not need to install ATM since it is part of the operating system already.
