Installing Windows fonts

If you have unlocked application software such as Sassoon Joiner, Sassoon Cambridge Joiner or Sassoon Primary School Pack, double-click the 'Installer' or 'Setup' or 'Disk Image (.dmg) file which will install all files, including fonts in their correct locations. If you have received fonts that do not have an 'Installer program' and need advice on installing fonts into your Operating System, please follow the notes below.

INSTALLING FONTS ONTO YOUR WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM
Install either PostScript or TrueType fonts into your System, not both! It is advisable to make a duplicate copy of the folder containing the original fonts so that fonts can be freshly installed in case of System corruption. A backup should be made in any case as this is your responsibility.

PostScript Type 1 fonts perform best when either of these is used to print them: A PostScript printer, Adobe Type Manager (ATM) or similar rendering engine.

TrueType fonts do not require any additional software or PostScript interpreter to produce optimum results. Install these if you do not have a PostScript printer ATM Control Panel or other similar PostScript rendering engine. If TrueType fonts are used with a PostScript printer, the outlines will be automatically converted to PostScript on-the-fly when printing.

Remember - keep the files safely backed up in case these fonts need to be re-installed due to a System corruption or System upgrade.

To remove font files navigate to the Fonts Folder and select files by ressing CTRL while clicking each file. Press Delete to remove files.

USERS OF THE SASSOON CD UNLOCKING SYSTEM
NOTE: If operation was aborted at any time during earlier unlocking from the Sassoon CD, an empty Folder will be created with a number appended (ie: S101W.1, S101W.2 etc), so be sure to look inside the correct Folder. If there are Folders with number appended, the last Folder is usually the successful unlock.
