Your font is now installed. The font name will appear in the
font menu in any application that has a font menu.
Important: Be sure not to put your Fontographer database
file in System 7.1’s Fonts folder. Doing so could cause
problems for Fontographer when you generate font files.
Installing Windows fonts
PC fonts generated by Fontographer are intended for use
in Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and Windows NT. PostScript
fonts may be used in 3.0 or later versions with the help of
Adobe Type Manager. (While PostScript fonts can be used
in non-Windows environments, they are not directly
supported.) TrueType fonts require Windows 3.1 (or later
versions), which has increased functionality in its Control
Panel to enable TrueType font installation. There is a
difference in the implementation of PostScript and
TrueType fonts in Windows, but they do have one
similarity: neither depends upon a bitmap file for the screen
image.
Installing PostScript fonts in Windows 3.x or
higher with Adobe Type Manager 2.x
Installing PostScript fonts in Windows requires that you
have Adobe Type Manager (ATM) 2.0 or later versions.
Windows 95 requires ATM 3.02 or later. ATM creates
screen fonts from the PostScript outlines and allows you to
print your PostScript fonts to any printer attached to your
Windows computer. PostScript fonts in Windows consist of
two parts, a .PFB file (PostScript Font Binary) and a .PFM
file (PostScript Font Metrics). Both files are necessary.
Make sure you have generated both files from
Fontographer before proceeding.
1. Double-click on the ATM Control Panel icon in the
Program Manager to start it.
The ATM Control Panel displays.
