1.0 Introduction To Screen Fonts

This CD contains both TrueType and Adobe Type Manager (ATM) screen fonts that match your printer's resident scaleable fonts. You can use the TrueType fonts with PCL and PostScript emulations. Or you can use the Adobe Type Manager(ATM Type 1) format screen fonts for Postscript emulation if you have ATM installed. We recommend that you install either the PS TrueType screen fonts or the ATM(Type 1) screen fonts but not both.

What are screen fonts and why do I need to install them on my Windows system?
Screen fonts are the fonts that you install in Windows to match your printer's scaleable resident fonts. Selecting resident printer fonts improves printing performance. The screen fonts allow the documents displayed on the computer screen to match the output from your printer. When you install the screen fonts, you will have access to the full set of resident printer fonts via Windows applications for both PS and PCL emulations.

International screen fonts available on this CD-ROM

Since your printer has international Windows character set support built in, you can set up the PCL printer driver on this CD-ROM so that the resident fonts enumerate these international Windows character sets. You can also install TrueType screen fonts to match the printers resident international Windows character set fonts from this CD-ROM. When the PCL printer driver is set up to enumerate the resident printer fonts with the international Windows character set(s), each corresponding printer font will have one of the following suffixes after each font name: (W1) - Latin 1 (Western) (WE) - Latin 2 (Central Europe) (WT) - Latin 5 (Turkish)

The Latin 1 Windows character set (W1) is usually the default Windows character set for most Western countries and the PCL printer driver uses this character set for the printers resident fonts. However the PCL printer driver can be set up so you can print using the languages shown above or if your Windows 95 platforms default language is not Latin 1, but is for example Latin 2, after the PCL printer is installed it will use (WE) for the printer fonts. We have provided screen fonts in these international characters sets so that your screen will match your printed output. The instructions for installing TrueType screen fonts on page 3 use the \fonts\tt_weste directory as the default directory because most users will install screen fonts that match the Western Windows character set (W1). But if your PCL driver is enumerating the printers resident fonts with another language Windows character set, as shown above, you can install the TrueType screen fonts for those languages by accessing the appropriate directories on the CD-ROM. The following table lists the languages and directories for the available Windows character sets:
