Installing and Removing Fonts
Avid|DS supports the following typeface formats:
• Type 1
• TrueType (PC-format ted)
Avid|DS does not require any additional software to access TrueType fonts,
but does require Adobe Type Manager (ATM) software to access Type 1 fonts.
Included in the \Fonts folder of the Avid|DS CD are 500 fonts from the
Bitstream typeface library.
Installing and
Removing Type 1 Fonts
Type 1 font support in Avid|DS is available only if you have the Adobe Type
Manager or Adobe Type Manager Deluxe software (version 4.0 or later)
installed and active. Consult the documentation that came with the Adobe
Type Manager or Adobe Type Manager Deluxe software for instructions on
how to install and remove Type 1 fonts.

TrueType font support in Avid|DS does not require any additional software.
To install TrueType fonts
1. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Fonts.
The Fonts window is displayed.
2. From the File menu, choose Install New Font.
The Add Fonts dialog box is displayed.
3. Use the Folders and Drives lists to navigate to the folder that contains the
TrueType fonts that you want to install. On the Avid|DS CD, they’re in the
\Fonts folder.
The available TrueType fonts in the selected folder appear in the List of
Fonts list.
Installing too many fonts on your workstation can noticeably degrade
computing performance. Keep the number of fonts installed on your
workstation to the minimum necessary to complete your projects.
