Using FineType
Fonts
FineType is our new font technology that allows users to import TrueType/outline fonts from their
desktop computer. In addition, FineType enables users to view anti-aliased, high resolution fonts on their
devices. Using FineType fonts, especially the high resolution fonts, will drastically improve your e-book
reading and word processing experience!
To use FineType fonts, simply follow these steps:
Step 1
Use the FineType Converter (
Windows only
) to install fonts to your organizer. Mac users may visit
this WordSmith user’s web site (scroll down to WordSmith) to find some converted fonts:

Please see our FAQs for updates on free converted
fonts:

We recommend installing Tahoma; this font is very readable on the small screen. The FineType Converter
shortcut is installed on the desktop when you install WordSmith for Windows. You may access the
FineType Converter by launching WordSmith on your desktop and clicking on the FineType button.
To install a font, select a font to install and then click on “install’ and Hotsync. If you want to install high
resolution fonts, click on the check box for High Resolution fonts. I f you have a Sony device, you should
also click on the Large fonts check box for best results. For more information on the FineType converter,
please see Chapter 3.
Step 2
Launch WordSmith on your organizer, open the Options menu, Select Display Options and check
the box for Use FineType
fonts. Please note on most devices that FineType is on by default. If you have
a Palm IIIc or Visor Prism, FineType is off by default. FineType fonts may not appear very well on these
devices due to the spacing in the pixels on the screen. If you want to view high resolution fonts, check the
box for High resolution. If you have a color device, you will also be given the option to select Light (softer,
