Removing Installed Fonts
You’ve devoted a lot of time to getting your font ready to
use. You’ve tweaked, scaled, and skewed the characters,
adjusted the kerning and spacing, printed out a sample to
see what the characters look like, and finally generated the
font. And since you’re perfectly happy with your creation,
you’re ready to install the font and actually use it! Telling
your system about your new font is the final step toward
this goal. The manner in which the system is made aware of
the font depends totally upon system configuration and
computer platform. We will examine the specific steps for
each platform. If your pulse is getting rapid, then think on
