In order to use PostScript Type 1 fonts in your word processor or other programs you must install them using Adobe Type Manager (ATM) if running Windows 3.1/Me/98/95/NT.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: NA
Here's How:
- Open Adobe Type Manager. It will probably be under Start > Programs > Adobe.
- Be sure that Source is set to Browse for Fonts.
- Navigate to the folder on your hard drive, a disk, or CD where your new fonts are located.
- Highlight the fonts you wish to install.
- Click the Add button.
Tips:
- If you are installing fonts from a CD be sure the 'Add without copying files' box is NOT checked; unless the fonts are on a located somewhere (such as a network) which you will have access to at all times.
- Windows Type 1 fonts have two files: PFB (printer font binary has outlines that control how the font looks) and PFM (printer font metrics has information about font spacing). ATM installs both as long as both files are present.
- With Windows Me/98/95/NT4 use ATM Deluxe, ATM Light, or ATM 4.0 or later.
- With Windows 3.1/NT3.5.1 use ATM version 3.x.
- Windows 2000/XP have built-in Type 1 font support and ATM can interfere with the built-in font management. See the installation How-to for 2000/XP (below) for details.
