ColorSpan Legacy Printing Tools - User Guide for Macintosh OS

1-6 Installing DTC Fonts
Installing DTC Fonts The RIP includes a set of PostScript-compatible printer fonts fac-
tory-installed on its hard disk.
• The standard 35 fonts found on most PostScript-compatible
printers
• DTC MasterWorks Type Library
The Digital Typeface Corporation (DTC) MasterWorks fonts are
shipped with the Printing Tools on the software DVD-ROM disc.
A specimen sheet showing each of the fonts is shown on the fol-
lowing pages.
Installing the fonts on your computer is necessary to display and
make them available in the applications you use to create
documents. You can install all or any number of individual fonts
on your computer. It is not necessary to install the standard 35
fonts on your computer. They are included as a standard feature
of your operating system’s PostScript printer driver.
To use these fonts, install them on your Macintosh from the DTC
font disks with a third-party font installer. (Alternatively, you can
install them with the DTC Font Installer located on the disc.) The
recommended location to install the fonts is
/Users/your_account_folder/library/fonts
where “your_account_folder” is the user account name.
The Macintosh OS can display a maximum of 128 suitcases at a
time. Use a font management utility to group related fonts
together, rather than installing them individually.
