Installing the font
Since installing fonts is different depending on the platform
and operating system you’re using, we can’t really cover
this in a quick “how-to” here. If you need more information
about installing fonts, refer to Chapter 9 or your System’s
User’s Manual.
Using the font
Once you’ve installed the font, go to the application of your
choice, type some text, and select your font (just like you
would any other font) from the Font menu.
Creating an oblique font
By using Fontographer’s Skew feature, you can create your
own oblique font. You can consider this an easy way to
make an oblique typeface. Actually, it’s sort of like cheating
since an oblique font is just a right-slanted version of a
Roman typeface; a true italic typeface has redesigned
characters that compliment the face. But, skewing is a
really easy way to create a new typeface that can add
emphasis to your text.
