Tips & Warnings
TrueType fonts contain all the information they need to print correctly in just one file. (PostScript fonts need two files.)
TrueType fonts weren't considered as high quality as PostScript fonts, but that's becoming less true.

I should be more precise. I have a set of "floppy" disks which I used to install these fonts under DOS. The disks contain compressed files with extension .TT_ What I need to do first is to decompress thesem files before I can install them. I don't know how they were compressed. These Fonts were published by Casady & Greene. -
