Product Information / Working with Fonts

Adding More Fonts

You can install more fonts into your Windows operating system. Most font packages include an installer or font management utility for this purpose.

Take note of the following regarding fonts and the Windows operating system:

TrueType fonts work with all versions of the Windows operating system.

You can install a maximum of approximately 800 TrueType fonts in Windows ME, 98, or 95.

To use PostScript Type 1 fonts in Windows Me/98/95 or Windows NT, you need to use Adobe Type Manager (ATM), ATM Deluxe, or ATM Light. You can download Adobe's freely distributable ATM Light for Windows from Adobe's Web site. If you are running Windows XP or Windows 2000, you do not need to install ATM since it is part of the operating system already.

You can also install fonts from within the Fonts window. To access this window, open the Control Panel and double-click the Fonts icon. Once installed, the fonts are available in all your Windows applications.
