POSTSCRIPT INSTALLATION

This new font includes matched .PFB and .PFM files. These two should be all you will need to use the font in virtually all of your Windows applications which can specify typefaces. An .AFM file is included, but you probably will not need it for your installation. The rest of this file includes:

-- How to install using Adobe Type Manager
-- How to install manually
-- Information about our rights and obligations


FONT INSTALLATION USING ATM

Run ATMCNTL.EXE (or click your appropriate icon) to add the new fonts. Follow ATM instructions or check your manual. When finished, please note that you'll have to exit Windows and return to enable access to the new fonts. 

If you use ATM, you may have to manually edit the entry in your WIN.INI file so that your printer will download your new font whenever it's called for. If you get Courier instead of the new font, then your printer probably didn't download the file. To fix the problem, add the font's .PFB file path and name to the WIN.INI softfont entry line as in the following example:
	  softfont42=c:\your-pfm-path\mirisch.pfm,C:\YOUR-PFB-PATH\MIRISCH.PFB

The comma and all-caps section is what you'll have to add. (It's not case-sensitive.) The first half of the entry should have already been made by ATM. If your listing looks like this and you still get Courier on your printer, then the problem is something else.


FONT INSTALLATION MANUALLY

This is the method I use because I like to know exactly what's being done and that it WAS done. 

Using the new font "Mirisch":

1. Locate the directory that has all of your existing .PFM files and copy the new .PFM file to that directory. Locate your .PFB files and copy the new .PFB there.

2. A note about editing ".INI" files:  When manually changing any Windows software xxx.INI file, you should first make a backup copy of the file in case the one you create has some problem. I also suggest that you name the backup something like xxx.BAC or xxx.ORG and keep it in the same directory. Many programs have standardized on a backup file extender of ".BAK" -- if you fall into the habit of using that one in manual backups which you make, one of these days you may have a needed backup over-written by some installation program or editor that also uses ".BAK" for its extender. After you've made a backup copy of the .INI file, load the working copy into your favorite editor for the new changes.

3. In your Windows directory (probably), locate and edit ATM.INI under [Fonts]:

	Mirisch=c:\your-pfm-path\mirisch.pfm,c:\your-pfb-path\mirisch.pfb

The name used before the = sign is case-sensitive; the filenames after the equal sign are not. Some fonts use upper and lower case in their names. Naturally you need to substitute your own path to the files where it indicates "your-...-path."

4. In your Windows directory, edit WIN.INI under [PostScript,LPT1] and/or any other section that has a complete listing of your fonts (for instance, if you have a second printer using the fonts). You need to increment the softfonts number by 1 for each new font added, per the following example:

	If your listing reads:
	    softfonts=41
	then change it to
	    softfonts=42
	Then go down past the last current listing (i.e. softfont41=xxxx)
	And add the following line
	    softfont42=c:\your-pfm-path\mirisch.pfm,c:\your-pfb-path\mirisch.pfb

Leave off the comma and .pfb portion if you don't want the font automatically downloaded  whenever it's called for. You will then have to manually download that font or else it will print in the Courier font. (You might do this if it's a font you use a lot; you set up a routine to manually download it into your printer's "permanent" memory at the start of a session; whenever that font is asked for, Windows doesn't download it because the lack of a .pfb portion of the font entry tells Windows that it's already in the printer.)

5. You must go from Windows to DOS and then back for changes to WIN.INI and ATM.INI to take effect. If you don't, you won't see the new fonts listed as being available from your applications.

6. Depending on the application used, you may have to "refresh" the list of fonts available with the current printer selected. Sometimes just re-selecting your printer will update a font list that was not automatically updated. See your software's manual for individual commands that may be necessary to refresh a font list.
