How to Upload the iSeries User Font

You can upload iSeries user fonts to a computer right from the "Start" menu.

The iSeries is a series of IBM computers that the company stopped manufacturing in 2008. They come with a dozen user fonts built-in, but to upload an iSeries user font to a computer, you need to first put that font on the computer's hard drive. From there, Windows makes uploading it for use easy.

Things You'll Need

• USB drive or blank CD

Instructions

1. Find the font you wish to transfer on the iSeries machine. You will find the font files in the "USERLIB" on your iSeries machine.

2. Insert a USB drive or blank CD into your iSeries machine.

3. Drag the iSeries font onto the icon that pops up in the main window. If you are using a CD, you will have to click "Burn" when prompted.

4. Eject the USB drive or burned CD and insert it into the main computer. Open it under "My Computer" and drag the font onto your desktop.

5. Open your Start menu and search for "Run." Earlier versions of Windows will have a "Run" button sitting on the menu already.

6. Enter "%windir%\fonts" (no quotes) in the box that pops up and press "Enter."

7. Select "Install new font" from the File menu.

8. Navigate to the folder containing the iSeries user font you wish to upload. In this case, it will be your desktop, and click "OK." A window will pop up displaying the available font.

9. Select the font you want to add.

10. Check the "Copy Fonts To Fonts Folder" box.

11. Click "OK."
