INTRODUCTION ------------ Thank you for taking the time to download this software package. FontReview 2.6 is a utility for both 95/98/NT4/2000. With this 32 bit software installed, you can view, print and install any TrueType font directly from the Explorer interface. After FontReview is installed on your system, you can look at uninstalled TrueType fonts on any storage medium. It works with TTF files on floppy, CD-ROMs and hard drive directories. If the font is not installed, you can install it with two clicks! FontReview includes a comprehensive UNINSTALL program, so we encourage you to install it on your system and give it a trial run. If you don't like the FontReview (we suspect you will!), you can easily remove the program from your computer. This README.TXT file contains important information for new users as well as shareware distributors. Please take the time to read through it. Recent version changes can be found in the CHANGES.TXT. 2. INSTALL/UNINSTALL AND SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ------------------------------------ To install FontReview, you need a computer running Windows 95/98/NT4/2000. We recommend at least a Pentium class machine with 16 megabytes of memory. ** Information about OCX and DLL versions shipped with this software can ** be found at the end of this file. To install FontReview: 1. Create a temporary directory and unzip the distribution .ZIP file to that directory. 2. Double click the SETUP.EXE icon found in that temporary directory. This program will install FontReview on your computer. 3. After you have installed FontReview, you can delete the temporary directory and the SETUP.EXE file. 4. We recommend placing the distribution .ZIP file on a backup floppy in case you need to reinstall FontReview. If you need to uninstall FontReview, click the "Add/Remove Programs" icon in your Windows Control Panel. From the list, select FontReview. This will run the uninstaller. The uninstaller removes program files and removes changes made to the Windows Registry. 3. RUNNING FONTREVIEW --------------------- Because FontReview is accessed through the Windows Explorer interface (it is a "shell extension"), it does not have a Start Menu item like Microsoft Word or Corel Draw. To see FontReview in action, open a folder containing uninstalled TrueType TTF files. A CD-ROM filled with TrueType fonts will do nicely. If you right click on a TTF file, you will notice three new menu items. "Print", "Open", and "Install." If you click "Open" (or double click the TTF file), this will bring up the main FontReview window. From here you can see what your uninstalled font file looks like! If you press the F1 key, it will open the FontReview online help file. The help file tells you more about using FontReview! 4. SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTION ------------------------- Because this is a shareware application, we encourage users and companies to distribute this program. If you are a commercial shareware distributor we ask that you contact us before distributing our software.
