Basic Font Installation Instructions
The following briefly describes what is required to install a font on a Windows or Macintosh system. The font provider
will supply more detailed information, these guidelines are only intended to illustrate the basics and scope of the
installation process.
On a Windows PC the font is installed through the Control Panel's "Fonts" folder.
On a Macintosh system select the font suitcases (for TrueType 1 fonts also select the printer outline files) and drag the
fonts onto the closed System Folder icon. For OS X drag the fonts onto the Fonts folder in the Library folder.
How to use a TrueType font
Once installed, the font will appear in the word processing or desktop publishing application in the font selection area.
Please note in MS Word, typing text surrounded by the characters * and *, automatically turns on auto format to bold
text. Since this is not the intended, or useful, turn off the auto formatting by following the steps below or use the 'undo
last action' after typing.
