Problem

Symptoms: A customer experienced problems installing PerfectType from Swfte. Solutions: The only instructions that come with PerfectType are located on the User Reference card that is attached to the registration card. There is no reference manual with the package.

The instructions on the card state that users must copy the fonts to the \PSFONTS directory. The card also give steps for going into WPFI (WP Font Installer) from within WP 6.0. Performing these steps will copy the .PFB and .PFM files into the same directory.

Customers will need to go into Directories for Files and change the location of the .AFM/.PFM files to the \PSFONTS directory by performing the following steps:
1.      Choose Font|Setup|Install Fonts|Type 1. If there are fonts installed that have the .AFM or .PFM files in the .AFM or .PFM directory, a list of fonts will display.
2.      Select 1 for Directories for Files.
3.      Select 1 for .AFM/.PFM Files.
4.      Change the directory to \PSFONTS and choose OK. The list of PerfectType fonts will display and the fonts can then be installed.

Customers who have not previously installed Type 1 fonts (for which there are also .AFM or .PFM files) should perform the following steps to change the location of the .AFM/.PFM files:
1.      Choose Font|Setup|Install Fonts|Type 1. The Location of Files box will immediately display.
2.      Select 1 for .AFM/.PFM Files.
3.      Change the directory to \PSFONTS and choose OK. The list of fonts will then display and the fonts can then be installed.
