Before you can use PostScript fonts you must first install them in your System using the Font/DA Mover and make the Printer Font files available for Automatic Downloading by putting them in the System Folder. SET-UP: Installing the fonts - follow these simple steps. 1. Start up your Macintosh and open the Screen Fonts file (the Font/DA Mover must be available to do this). 2. Click on the Open button of the Font/DA mover's window with no files open (and on the Drive button if necessary) to get to the System folder. Open the System folder and then Open the System file in the System Folder. Provided you opened directly from the Screen Fonts file as described in step 1 there will be the new fonts from the Screen Fonts file on one side of the Font/DA mover's window and the existing System fonts (already in the current system) on the other. 3. Select the point sizes you want to install from the Screen Fonts file, and click on the <> button to install them into the System. To continue installing other typefaces click on the Open button on the Screen Fonts side of the Font/DA's window. Locate the other screen font file you wish to install from. Select the typefaces and point sizes you want to install, and click on the <> button. 4. Quit from the Font/DA Mover. 5. INSTALL THE PRINTER FONTS by copying the Printer Font files to your System Folder. Leave the files loose in your System Folder. DO NOT PUT THEM IN A FOLDER WITHIN THE SYSTEM FOLDER. DOWNLOADING THE FONTS Now you are ready to use your new typeface. Select your printer using Chooser from the Apple menu, check that your Printer Font files are in the System Folder, then download your fonts using one of the following methods: Automatic Downloading 1. Make sure the fields containing the Printer Fonts are stored loose (not in folders) in your System Folder. 2. Prepare your document, selecting fonts from your application's pull-down menus (Type Specs). 3. Print your document. Your fonts are automatically downloaded as needed and then deleted from the printer at the end of the document or, for some applications, at the end of the textblock. Manual Downloading (typical method) 1. Using Adobe's Font Downloader - Open from the File Menu. 2. Select Download Font from the File menu. Select a font from the scroll box, and click on the Download button, then on the OK button. This font will remain in the printer until the printer is turned off. 3. Repeat step 2 for each printer font you want to download. Choose Quit form the File menu when you have finished. REFERENCE ¥ You do not need to install all the point sizes of the Screen Fonts supplied with this font package in order to access the Printer Font. One is all it takes. In general, the more point sizes of each screen font you install, the greater the clarity and accuracy of the screen display. However, for space considerations, especially on a two-disk system, you may want to install only some Screen Fonts. Keep in mind that each point size of a Screen Font occupies from 3K to 12K on your System Disk - the Font D/A Mover tells you the exact number of bytes. If you are installing to a hard disk this should not present a problem. You may not be able to install all your Screen Fonts on the System Disk. If your disk is becoming full, install only one or two point sizes of each Screen Font. Your Macintosh can compute any other size it needs from whatever you have installed, but computed fonts may not be as clear on the screen and may change the width of text lines. The more point sizes you install, the more accurate the relationship between the screen and the printed document. ¥ DOWNLOADING - the differences between manual downloading and automatic downloading of printer fonts: Downloading a printer font means copying the font from your Macintosh to a POSTSCRIPT printer so that the printer has the information needed to draw the characters. MANUAL download refers to using a Font Downloader application to copy the printer font files to your printer. AUTOMATIC downloading takes place when you choose Print from the File menu in a Macintosh application. Most Macintosh applications automatically download fonts to the printer's memory as they are needed. Whenever such a program needs a font that is not already in the printer, it searches for a file containing that font and downloads it. When automatically downloaded, a font is deleted from the printer's memory at the end of the document. For some applications, the deletion occurs at the end of a text block. Even if your application supports automatic downloading, you may be able to reduce printing time by manually downloading printer fonts-all the documents that use these fonts can then be printed without downloading them. Fonts manually downloaded to memory remain in the printer until it is turned off or restarted. ¥ Put fonts where the System can find them. Your application looks to find the Printer Font files in the System Folder on your disk. Make sure to leave the Printer Font files "loose" in the System Folder - don't put them in a Folder within the System Folder. _____________________________________ PostScriptª and Font Downloader are trademarks of Adobe Systems, Inc.
