Some of our typefaces are offered on their own, not as part of a boxed
collection. The typefaces are still of the same high quality, but
are provided with electronic reference
material rather than
printed documents.
Single typeface packs can be purchased as a download (you will be
sent a secure link to a download area after purchase), or on CD-ROM (minimal
packaging, with references etc. on CD).
In
either case, you will receive:
- The typeface, containing one or more TrueType/OpenType fonts.
- Reference sheets for the fonts, to allow easy character selection.
- Historical information and samples of the fonts.
- An installation guide and licence information.
The final three items are provided in Adobe Acrobat form. You will need
the Acrobat Reader (free) or Mac OSX Preview, to view them (click the
icon below to obtain a free copy of Acrobat if you currently have neither):
If Purchasing as an Electronic Download:
- Ensure that you have either Acrobat Reader (see above) or Preview.
- After placing an order, you will be sent details of a download address
within 24 hours, where you can obtain copies of the software at your
convenience.
- The total download is between 0.5 and 3MB, depending on the typeface
family, which may take a few minutes over a modem.
After clicking the link provided in your confirmatory email, and entering
your password, you will be provided with a choice of options depending
on your computer:
Windows:
You will need WinZip or a Zip extractor to open the
downloaded file: this is supplied on most modern PCs, but if you do not
have it, the commerical WinZip can be
purchased here; or freely download the small non-commercial FreeZip
from Dariusz Stanislawek.
- You will see a licence text file (which you should click first to
download and read before proceeding). There will be one other file
per typeface family ordered, ending in .zip - click on this file to
start the download.
- You may be asked whether you want to save the file to disk or open
it: choose to Save it, and choose a suitable location
where you will be able to find it.
- Once the .zip file has downloaded, find it on your computer, and
double-click to open it. You will need WinZip, Stuffit Expander or
a similar utility to open and decompress the file.
- Save the expanded files to disk (by choosing Save or Extract from
the File menu), again to a suitable location.
- Find the installation guide file, and follow the instructions within
there.
Macintosh:
Fonts are provided in DMG format for Mac OSX, which
once downloaded and double-clicked, will open and appear as a new disk
on your desktop. Some older font downloads include a SIT option for System
7-9: you will need the free Aladdin
stuffit utility to open these.
- You will see a licence text file (which you should click first to
download and read before proceeding). There will be a file labelled
(fontname).DMG for MacOSX (and, if supported, another for OS 7-9 labelled
MacOS9.sit). Choose the appropriate file for your Mac, and click on
it to start the download.
- You may be asked whether you want to save the file to disk or open
it: choose to Save it, and choose a suitable location
where you will be able to find it; alternatively, it may automatically
be saved to your download location (you may have set this in the preferences;
the default is usually the desktop).
- For Mac OSX:
Double-click the .dmg file. A disk image will appear on your desktop, double-click
on this to open it and follow the instructions.
For Mac OS 7-9:
Double-click the .sit file. A new folder containing the fonts will be created
in the same location as the .sit file: open this and follow the instructions
in the Installation Guide.
