<h3>
LARABIE FONTS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
</h3>
<ul>
<li>Q: How do use these fonts in my favourite software?
</li>
<li>A: In Windows, you take the fonts out of the ZIP archive and place them in your fonts
folder which can be found in your Control Panel. The next time you run your software, the
font will be available. For example: If you install a new font, the next time you run
Microsoft Word, that font will be available in the menu under Format / Font. For anything
more complicated, or Mac installation, visit <a href="http://www.larabiefonts.com/help.html">
www.larabiefonts.com/help.html</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q: How can I use this font in <a href="http://www.aol.com/aim/">AOL Instant
Messenger</a>, <a href="http://messenger.msn.com/">MSN Messenger</a>, <a href=
"http://www.microsoft.com/office/outlook/">Outlook</a>, <a href=
"http://www.microsoft.com/office/outlook/">Outlook Express</a>, <a href=
"http://www.eudora.com/">Euodora</a> or any other email software?
</li>
<li>A: At the time of this writing (Feb 2004) you cant. After installing one of my fonts,
you may be able to select it in the above applications but the person at the other end wont
see that same thing unless they have the font installed. If you really want to use my fonts
in these applications, make sure the people at the other end have the same fonts installed.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q: How can I use these fonts on a web page?
</li>
<li>A: If youre creating a web page using Flash, its easy. Consult your Flash manual. If
youre using <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/">Acrobat</a>, make sure the font
embedding settings are turned on. Consult your Acrobat manual. For anything else there are
limitations: If you want to use one of my fonts as your main, text font youre pretty much
out of luck unless you explore a font embedding tool such as <a href=
"http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft/">WEFT</a> but I dont recommend it.
To use my fonts as headings or titles, use image creation software such as <a href=
"http://www.gimp.org/">The Gimp</a>, <a href=
"http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/">Photoshop</a>, <a href=
"http://www.jasc.com/">Paint Shop Pro</a>, <a href=
"http://www.google.com/search?q=pixia">Pixia</a> etc. Save the images as GIF files and place
them on your web page. Theres a lot more to it than can be explained here but there are
countless books available on web page design.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q: How can I make these fonts bigger?
</li>
<li>A: All my fonts are infinitely scalable; the limitations are in your software. A common
problem is scaling fonts in Microsoft Word. If you choose Format / Font you can type in any
number you like under size.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q: Are these fonts really free?
</li>
<li>A: Yes they are. Some fonts such as <a href=
"http://www.typodermic.com/fonts/19.html">Neuropol</a> have expanded font families available
for sale at <a href="http://www.typodermic.com">www.typodermic.com</a> but the version you
downloaded at Larabie Fonts is free.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q: Your licence agreement states that the fonts cant be altered. Does that mean I cant
mess around with your fonts in Photoshop/Illustrator/Publisher etc?
</li>
<li>A: Those license restrictions refer to altering the actual fonts themselves, not what you
make with them. As long as you dont alter the font files in font creation software such as
FontLab or Fontographer youre free to create anything you like with them.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q: Can I use your fonts in a logo?
</li>
<li>A: Yes. But check with a lawyer if youre not sure. Its okay with me if you use it but
do so at your own risk.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q: Can I send you a sample of the nifty thing I created with your fonts?
</li>
<li>A: Of course. Check <a href=
"http://www.larabiefonts.com/donation.html">www.larabiefonts.com/donation.html</a> for my
current email or mailing address.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q: Can you make a custom font for me?
</li>
<li>A: Possibly. Check <a href=
"http://typodermic.com/custom.html">typodermic.com/custom.html</a> for details. Keep in mind
that making fonts is my full-time job so no freebies.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q: I want to sell software that includes you font files.
</li>
<li>A: Contact me first at <a href=

your font designs.

</ul>

</li>
<li>A: You may have an old version of one of my fonts. Uninstall it and install a current
version on Larabie Fonts.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q: Can you help me find a font?
