<h3>
|

LARABIE FONTS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
|
||
</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Q: How do use these fonts in my favourite software?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>A: In Windows, you take the fonts out of the ZIP archive and place them in your fonts
|
||
folder which can be found in your Control Panel. The next time you run your software, the
|
||
font will be available. For example: If you install a new font, the next time you run
|
||
Microsoft Word, that font will be available in the menu under Format / Font. For anything
|
||
more complicated, or Mac installation, visit <a href="http://www.larabiefonts.com/help.html">
|
||
www.larabiefonts.com/help.html</a>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Q: How can I use this font in <a href="http://www.aol.com/aim/">AOL Instant
|
||
Messenger</a>, <a href="http://messenger.msn.com/">MSN Messenger</a>, <a href=
|
||
"http://www.microsoft.com/office/outlook/">Outlook</a>, <a href=
|
||
"http://www.microsoft.com/office/outlook/">Outlook Express</a>, <a href=
|
||
"http://www.eudora.com/">Euodora</a> or any other email software?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>A: At the time of this writing (Feb 2004) you can’t. After installing one of my fonts,
|
||
you may be able to select it in the above applications but the person at the other end won’t
|
||
see that same thing unless they have the font installed. If you really want to use my fonts
|
||
in these applications, make sure the people at the other end have the same fonts installed.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Q: How can I use these fonts on a web page?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>A: If you’re creating a web page using Flash, it’s easy. Consult your Flash manual. If
|
||
you’re using <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/">Acrobat</a>, make sure the font
|
||
embedding settings are turned on. Consult your Acrobat manual. For anything else there are
|
||
limitations: If you want to use one of my fonts as your main, text font you’re pretty much
|
||
out of luck unless you explore a font embedding tool such as <a href=
|
||
"http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft/">WEFT</a> but I don’t recommend it.
|
||
To use my fonts as headings or titles, use image creation software such as <a href=
|
||
"http://www.gimp.org/">The Gimp</a>, <a href=
|
||
"http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/">Photoshop</a>, <a href=
|
||
"http://www.jasc.com/">Paint Shop Pro</a>, <a href=
|
||
"http://www.google.com/search?q=pixia">Pixia</a> etc. Save the images as GIF files and place
|
||
them on your web page. There’s a lot more to it than can be explained here but there are
|
||
countless books available on web page design.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Q: How can I make these fonts bigger?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>A: All my fonts are infinitely scalable; the limitations are in your software. A common
|
||
problem is scaling fonts in Microsoft Word. If you choose Format / Font you can type in any
|
||
number you like under “size”.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Q: Are these fonts really free?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>A: Yes they are. Some fonts such as <a href=
|
||
"http://www.typodermic.com/fonts/19.html">Neuropol</a> have expanded font families available
|
||
for sale at <a href="http://www.typodermic.com">www.typodermic.com</a> but the version you
|
||
downloaded at Larabie Fonts is free.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Q: Your licence agreement states that the fonts can’t be altered. Does that mean I can’t
|
||
mess around with your fonts in Photoshop/Illustrator/Publisher etc?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>A: Those license restrictions refer to altering the actual fonts themselves, not what you
|
||
make with them. As long as you don’t alter the font files in font creation software such as
|
||
FontLab or Fontographer you’re free to create anything you like with them.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Q: Can I use your fonts in a logo?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>A: Yes. But check with a lawyer if you’re not sure. It’s okay with me if you use it but
|
||
do so at your own risk.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Q: Can I send you a sample of the nifty thing I created with your fonts?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>A: Of course. Check <a href=
|
||
"http://www.larabiefonts.com/donation.html">www.larabiefonts.com/donation.html</a> for my
|
||
current email or mailing address.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Q: Can you make a custom font for me?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>A: Possibly. Check <a href=
|
||
"http://typodermic.com/custom.html">typodermic.com/custom.html</a> for details. Keep in mind
|
||
that making fonts is my full-time job so no freebies.

||
</ul>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Q: I want to sell software that includes you font files.

</ul>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Q: My software won’t let me embed one of your fonts.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>A: You may have an old version of one of my fonts. Uninstall it and install a current
|
||
version on Larabie Fonts.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Q: Can you help me find a font?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>A: I really don’t have the time but if you send a donation, I can give it a try. If not.
