Tall narrow letters

[Jay Freedman]

Physically, it is as simple as that. Legally speaking, you may have
bought a license that allows installation only on one PC, but that
differs from one font to another.

To add to what Jay has said, some people will tell you that copying the font
file to the Fonts folder is not the same thing as using File | Install New
Font in the Fonts folder, but in fact the effect is exactly the same. The
main difference is that if you use the Install New Font command (a) the
fonts, wherever they may be found, will be listed by font name rather than
just filename (that is, the Fonts folder peeks inside the file to extract
the display name of the font to make it easier for you), and (b) you can
"install" the font without necessarily copying it to the Fonts folder (in
which case there will be just a shortcut to the font in the Fonts folder).
But the font will definitely still be just as available if all you do is
copy it to the Fonts folder.

There was a time when a "little black book" was something other than helpful
computer tips. :-D

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Well, Tosca didn't qualify his "black book" as "little," so he may still
have one of those, too.

Thank you for the further explanation.

Nope - it's just a hand-written collection of useful computer tips which
I've picked up from here and there! I'm sure that everyone has something
similar, although they may not have to actually commit the information to
paper.

I no longer have a little black book - I'm married. ;-)

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

I have binders and folders full of stuff I've printed out from the Web and
elsewhere (README files). I rarely refer to it, but occasionally it will
contain just the right information.
