User Guide

of a CFG file, we decided to show you how to make one,
rather than generate a dummy file every time you generate
fonts.
If you were to create a CFG file for the Nova family, it
would look like the following example. [We have included
comments to help explain things.]
If you must install fonts into WordPerfect DOS and the like,
then use this as a model for writing your CFG. All lines
preceded by “#” are comments and do not need to be in the
actual file. When you are finally ready to run the Installer
program, copy the PFB, PFM, INF, AFM, and the CFG files
to their own disk.
