# 5004- Installing Additional True Type Fonts

Windows  3.1 or 3.11
The True Type engine is internal to Windows which means that you do not require a third party
font manager to use True Type fonts in Windows applications. In order for an application to
make use of a particular True Type font, that font must be installed through Windows. This is
true for CorelDRAW  5, and any other Windows 3.1 compatible application that supports True
Type fonts.

There are two files associated with an installed font; the True Type font file (extension .TTF)
and the resource file (extension .FOT).  During the CorelDRAW 5 installation, both files, for
each True Type font will be copied into the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Windows requires
that the .FOT (resource) files reside in this directory.  Once the fonts are installed, the WIN.INI
file will update the Fonts section. It is important that the .TTF file is not moved or deleted from
the directory it gets installed into.  If you think this may have happened, it is always safe to
remove and reinstall the font through the Windows Control Panel.

A Full or Minimum/Custom installation of CorelDRAW 5 will install 24 fonts to the hard drive.
CD-ROM #1 offers access to over 800 additional True Type fonts. There are a variety of ways to
install fonts on your system.  

TIP:  Installing more than 300 fonts is not recommended.  Doing so, will slow performance in
Windows and/or may cause the WIN.INI file to exceed the 64K limit.  This will cause Windows
to become unstable.  A font management application such as Ares FontMinder is recommended
to sort and manage all fonts loaded in Windows.  When removing fonts, take care not to remove
the system fonts. These are Windows default fonts.  For a complete list system fonts, refer to the
Windows documentation.
