This article describes the procedures for turning off the MoreFonts soft font package, manufactured by Micrologic Software, in Microsoft Windows operating environment versions 3.0 or 3.1.

MORE INFORMATION

By default, MoreFonts is installed in the MF directory. Typeface files are copied to the PCLFONTS directory. In addition, the MoreFonts version 3.0 installation copies four files to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory and one file to the WINDOWS directory.

Files copied to the WINDOWS directory:

  • MF.INI

Files copied to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory:
  • MFSYS.INI
  • MFTYPE.INI
  • WINWPS.DLL
  • GERONIMO.DLL

The Windows system files are modified as follows: 

   WIN.INI:
      No entries; no modifications

   SYSTEM.INI:
      [BOOT]
      SYSTEM.DRV=MFSYS.DRV
      MF.SYSTEM.DRV=SYSTEM.DRV
