Ok, we recently purchased a font for one of our clients. &nbsp;Problem is that we cannot seem to get it to instal on Win98 machines. &nbsp;I'm assuming this is because it's a Post Script Font, perhaps? (.afm, .pfm, .inf)<br />
<br />
Does anyone know of a font manager utility or some sort of program that will allow us to install these without actually changing the OS of the machine?<br />
<br />
Initial test has shown that while they will not instal on Win98, we have no problems with NT or 2000.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much!!<br />

Post Script Fonts on Win98

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.
