Installing Additional Fonts

In Windows 95, fonts can be installed in your computer in several ways:

• Windows 95 automatically installs TrueType and its screen fonts during Setup. When you specify a printer and other options in the Printer Setup dialog box, Windows 95 includes information about font cartridges and built-in fonts for your printer.
• Install more TrueType fonts from disks. After you install TrueType fonts, you do not need to use the Fonts option in Control Panel to install them again.
• Install soft fonts from other vendors on your hard disk by using the utility supplied by the manufacturer. Then use the Fonts option in Control Panel to install the fonts for Windows 95.
• Install a new font cartridge in your printer.

For more information about adding fonts, see online Help.

Note

If a TrueType font becomes corrupted, Windows 95 detects this and marks that font as unavailable during the remainder of that Windows session and prevents it from being rendered any longer. You can choose to uninstall the font at that point.

To install cartridge fonts available to Windows-based applications

• Use the installation program that came with the cartridge.
