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.
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:
1. Invoke FontVision in Windows. 2. Turn on directory mode by pressing the Show Directories button. 3. Press the Search for Fonts button and choose Selected path
cd-rom drive letter:\fonts\tt_weste then click OK. 4. From the main FontVision screen press the Install Fonts button. 5. Your screen fonts are now installed.

Click the All button then click OK After the fonts are installed, close the Fonts and Control Panel windows. Your screen fonts are now installed.

Note: Arial, Courier New, Times New Roman, Wingdings, and Symbol come with Windows and
are not included on this CD-ROM for the PCL resident printer screen fonts. Courier New is substituted for the printer's PCL Courier resident font by the Lexmark PCL printer driver.
