How do the fonts work?
This product is not really a program. It is a set of fonts to be used with other applications. Once these fonts are installed they can be used in any program such as word processing or graphics programs. Simply access the font list and you will see the new fonts appear with the existing fonts from before. You may use large sizes for better display. You may use as many fonts in a document as you wish. However, when using the picture fonts such as Abc Apple, it will take more memory from the system. If you experience problems printing, PRINT ONLY ONE PAGE AT A TIME.
Do I need a special printer?
No! Any Windows or Mac compatible printer will support the use of these fonts.
Is installation easy?
Yes! Follow the instructions listed on our SUPPORT page for the system you are using. Before you install the fonts, make a copy of the disk. Store the original in a safe place. Use the copy to install the fonts on your hard disk.
What the are system requirements?
Macintosh system requirements:
- OS X
- Any printer supported by Macintosh
Windows system requirements:
- Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
- Any printer supported by Windows
Can I share these fonts with my friends?
With the single user license, you are allowed to use the fonts at school AND at home but not to share them with other teachers or friends. A school site license allows all teachers at the school site to use the fonts at school and at home. Other friends should purchase their own copy of the fonts. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ILLEGAL COPIES OF THIS SOFTWARE. The software you are using was produced through the efforts of many people: designers, artists, distributors, retailers and other dedicated workers. DownHill Fonts is committed to quality products and good design. Properly purchasing and licensing the fonts will support this effort.
What about D’Nealian and other fonts?
Our Abc DN Manuscript collection of six fonts (regular, with lines, with dots, with lines and dots, with lines dots and arrows, and with arrows) compares with the D’Nealian* Style. Very soon will be available for downloading!
