All typefaces are provided as a download, either
individually or as part of collections (you will be sent a
secure link to a download area after purchase, and have 48 hours to download the
typefaces). Optionally, for a small fee,
you can also request that your fonts are copied to a USB
flash drive when you order and posted to you.
Downloads or USBs will include:
- The typeface, containing one or more
TrueType/OpenType/AAT 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):
When 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, where you can obtain copies of the
software at your convenience, although within a 48 hour
limit.
- The total download is up to 2.5MB for a single
typeface, or 8MB for a typeface collection, which may
take a few minutes over a modem.
After clicking the link provided in your confirmatory
email, 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.
- 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.
Click on it to start the download.
Note: DMG files are not supported by MacOS 8 or 9
('Classic'): please purchase the USB option or contact us for further
details.
- 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).
- Double-click the .DMG file. A disk image will appear
on your desktop, double-click on this to open it and
follow the instructions.
