Frequently Asked Questions

How do the fonts work?

This product is not really a program. It is a set of 20 fonts to be used with other applications. Once these fonts are installed they can be used in any program such as word processing or graphics programs. Simply access the font list and you will see the new fonts appear with the existing fonts from before. You may use large sizes for better display. You may use as many fonts in a document as you wish. However, when using the picture fonts such as Abc Apple, it will take more memory from the system. If you experience problems printing, PRINT ONLY ONE PAGE AT A TIME.

Do I need a special printer?

No! Any Windows or Mac compatible printer will support the use of these fonts.

Is installation easy?

Yes! Follow the instructions listed on our SUPPORT page for the system you are using. Before you install the fonts, make a copy of the disk. Store the original in a safe place. Use the copy to install the fonts on your hard disk.
