SUMMARY
Microsoft Creative Writer 1.x and Fine Artist 1.x recognize TrueType fonts only. You must have at least one valid True Type font on your system to run Creative Writer or Fine Artist.



MORE INFORMATION
Creative Writer and Fine Artist do not recognize non-TrueType fonts, such as printer fonts or PostScript fonts. If you have no TrueType fonts installed, you receive the following alert when you attempt to run either program:

Windows: "True Type fonts are not enabled."

On the Macintosh, you always have three TrueType fonts included as system FOND resources (Chicago, Geneva, Monaco).

Creative Writer and Fine Artist ship with a set of five TrueType fonts. These are: Impact, Lucida Blackletter, Lucida Handwriting, Lucida Sans, and Stencil.

Creative Writer 1.1 and Fine Artist 1.1 (on CD-ROM) and the Creative Writer/Fine Artist combination CD-ROM (version 1.1a), also include the McZee font. On the Macintosh, the Kids Fonts/Kids CD Fonts suitcase must be dragged to the appropriate location in the system folder for these fonts to be activated. (Use Font/DA Mover on System 6.x Macintoshes.)
