TrueType and Postscript Type 1, it provides a single comprehensive
program which allows you to:
- Install and uninstall fonts in Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, 
  Windows NT4.0, Windows 2000  
- Load new fonts from distribution diskettes
- Search your local and network drives for fonts 
- Preview the fonts on your computer or network
- Create font groups for personal or workgroup projects
- Sort your fonts in a variety of ways
- ... and much more!

MS Windows Version: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT4.0, Windows 2000
    

3.0 INSTALLATION
To install the program please insert theCD-Rom into
your CD drive. From theStart Button, select
Run and type "E:\Setup" and hit ENTER (your CD-Rom drive may have a different letter).
The installation has online Help if you have questions while installing. Once the
program has been installed, double click the program icon to
start the program. Font Manager includes a comprehensive
on-line help system which can be invoked by hitting F1.

4.0 CONTROL BAR
The Font Manager has a control bar to speed your access to
operations. Each icon represents a basic operation. Please
consult the on-line help system for an explanation of each
of the Font Manager's control bar icon functions.

5.0 MENUS
The Font Manager conveniently allows you to access basic
operations through menu picks.

6.0 AVAILABLE FONTS
There are three basic windows displayed in Font Manager. The
first of these is the list of available fonts. It is from
this list that you can select fonts to install in Windows.
You can also select fonts from this list for previewing on
the screen or for obtaining printer samples.

7.0 INSTALLED FONTS
The installed fonts window shows the family name of fonts
which are installed and active under Windows. These fonts
are active under Windows and may be used in Windows
applications.

8.0 FONT GROUPS, 
Font grouping is a powerful feature of the Font Manager. It
allows you to create custom collections of fonts and give
them meaningful names.

9.0 SCREEN FONTS
Along with the Font Manager, your distribution diskette also
has a set of screen fonts to match your printer. Your
release disk contains these fonts in Agfa's MicroType
format, a patented, highly compressed font technology. You
can elect to install these fonts as TrueType fonts on your
system when you install the program. Of course, you are
always free to install new fonts or to reinstall fonts at a
later date. These TrueType screen fonts have been selected
to give you an excellent WYSIWYG connection between your
Windows applications and your printer.

10.0 FONT MANAGER HINTS & TIPS

10.1 INSTALLATION ISSUES
No Issues!

10.2 HELP SYSTEM ISSUES
No Issues!

10.3 SEARCHING FOR FONTS ISSUES
10.3.1 When a floppy drive is searched and no diskette is
inserted, Font Manager displays an error dialog saying there
is no diskette in the drive. The Font Manager program begins
the requested search when the user has inserted the
appropriate media and clicked "OK" to the error dialog
window!

10.3.2 During a Search for Fonts on either a network or
CD-ROM, clicking on the "Stop" button has no immediate
effect. The best action to take is to keep trying by
clicking the button multiple times.

10.3.3 The Font Manager tries to determine what media (CD-
ROM or floppy disk) is inserted in your PC. You may see
these particular drive lights go on briefly due to this
fact.

10.3.4 In "Search for Fonts," under the "Select Drives"
feature the Font Manager displays a search window. In this
window you will see a drive type icon, a drive letter, a
drive classification of Local or LAN. Local means the drive
is on your PC, LAN means the drive is on a network server.
The last column displays the drive label. This  label will
either be blank or contain a name that may not be familiar
to you (i.e. - MS-DOS 60). This name is the volume label of
the particular drive recognized by the Windows software. To
begin a Search for Fonts, simply click on the drive(s) you
wish to search and then click the "OK" button.

10.3.5 During a Network search, for brief moments, the
directory path may disappear when searching certain paths.
Also, when a font is found sometimes just the font name
displays and not the directory path. Please be assured the
Font Manager will return to your control when the search is
complete.

10.4 INSTALLING AND UN-INSTALLING FONTS
10.4.1 The Font Manager does not currently support
PostScript Multiple Master font data.

10.4.2 The Font Manager and ATM 4.0's "Font Set/Auto Activation"
causes a problem. When FM uninstalls a font ATM automatically
reinstalls it when Windows is restarted. This is due to the 
ATM 4.0 advanced setting called, "Type 1 Font Controls/Enable 
Auto-Activation." This feature's default settingis "ON" and
should be turned "OFF."


10.5 REMOVING FONTS
No Issues!


10.6 PREVIEWING FONTS
10.6.1 The Preview display for some Bold or Italic font
characters are getting clipped on the screen. Try selecting
another smaller point size and the problem usually goes
away.

10.6.2 If you Preview any installed font family with four
styles and select a large point size (i.e. - 200 pt), the
Preview window expands, but is unable to display all the
styles because they scroll off the bottom off the screen.
Simply select another smaller point size until all styles
are visible in the preview window.

10.7 PRINTING FONT SAMPLES
No Issues!

10.8 FONT GROUPS
10.8.1 Clicking on a Font Group name will highlight and
unhighlight the group name and the fonts contained in that
group. If you double-click on a font name the Preview window
will appear and display that font.

10.9 GENERAL FONT MANAGER ISSUES
10.9.1 The Font Manager should not be used until the Windows
Font Control Panel is closed.

10.9.2 There are some PostScript and TTF fonts that are
known to be "out of spec" with the published TrueType font
specification. These fonts are produced by those companies
less concerned with creating high quality TrueType or
PostScript fonts. You may see strange typeface names in the
"Fonts Available for Installation" list box. This is a clear
indication the TrueType font is either damaged or not
created strictly to spec.

10.9.3 When the Font Manager program takes a long time to
perform a given operation, the "Fonts Available for
Installation" and "Fonts Installed in Windows" lists 
may disappear for a short time. The windows will return when
the given operation is completed.

10.10 WIN `95 OS ISSUES
No Issues!

10.11 WIN NT 4.0 OS ISSUES
No Issues!
