Vector Fonts Not Available After Installing Plotter

• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

After you install a plotter driver that is included with Windows 95, the following font may not be available to use with that plotter:

   Modern 

CAUSE

When you install a plotter driver, Windows 95 may not copy the necessary font file for this vector font to the hard disk.

RESOLUTION

To install this font manually, follow these steps:

1. Click the Start button, point to Programs, then click MS-DOS Prompt.



2. Insert the CD-ROM containing the Windows 95 .CAB files or the floppy disk containing the appropriate .CAB file.



3. Move to the Windows\Fonts folder by typing

   cd\<windows>\fonts

   where <windows> is the directory in which Windows 95 is installed.



4. Type the following command

   extract <drive>:win95_05.cab <fontname>.fon

   where <drive> is the drive containing the .CAB file, <n> is the number of the .CAB file containing the font, and <fontname> is the name of the font (Modern).
   
   NOTE: If you have the Windows 95 DMF floppy disks, Modern.fon is in the Win95_06.cab file. If you have the Windows 95 CD-ROM, Modern.fon is in the Win95_05.cab file. If you have the Windows 95 non-DMF floppy disks, Modern.fon is in the Win95_08.cab file.



5. Click the Start button, point to Settings, then click Control Panel.



6. Double-click the Fonts folder.



7. On the File menu, click Install New Font.



8. Click the font you want to install and then click OK.

MORE INFORMATION

Some of these fonts may already be installed or be available to install from the hard disk, but not have been loaded when you installed the plotter driver. Windows 95 retains these fonts if you install Windows 95 over a previous version of Microsoft Windows that has these fonts installed.
