Before installing any additional fonts for WIN-OS/2 make sure that all of your printers are installed and that they are configured for the correct output port. WIN-OS/2 maintains its font information in the ATM.INI for non-PostScript printers and in the WIN.INI for PostScript printers. For PostScript printers this means that PostScript printers installed after the font installation will not have those fonts in their list. Also if you change the output port of an installed PostScript printer then your fonts will disappear unless the new port also had a PostScript printer assigned to it while the fonts were being installed.
To install an additional font:
You must restart Windows to access the new fonts. The system will prompt you to do this.
Important: When you install the fonts the system will prompt you with suggested paths for the files. Although you may change the path, remember one thing: OS2 PM ATM will be installing the .PFB file as well and will place it in a different directory. You will be tempted to use the same directory for both OS/2 PM and WIN-OS/2. We recommend that you use the default settings because when you delete a font with the OS/2 PM Font Palette it will also delete the .PFB font file! This will make the font unusable, although still installed, in WIN-OS/2. Allowing the system to keep your OS/2 PM and WIN-OS/2 fonts separate will save a lot of confusion in managing fonts.

Note: The internal file format is different from the standard core fonts delivered with OS/2 V2.0. Those have been modified for performance reasons, where these fonts are installed as standard Type 1 fonts. :enote.
Important: As information is added to the ATM.INI file, don't try to install or remove fonts just by copying or erasing files. Adding or deleting fonts must be done with the ATM Control Panel and/or the Print Manager.
For faster performance and better typeset quality don't forget to either install these fonts as downloadable, or download them directly, if you are using them with a PostScript printer, which does not have them already built-in.
