Hello All
I would like to know how do I install new fonts with MOS and where can I get some online for free? TIA

Hey magnetic,

You should just be able to drop the font and it's
folder (containing the font sizes) into your
Sys:fonts drawer...that's if it's the same as AOS
(but I'm at work now so I can't check for sure ;)).

http://www.flashkit.com/fonts/A/one place for free true type fonts.

Thanks guys
Once I get the fonts, what program do I use to install them? I know there is an MOS program called TTF or something....??

I haven't tried this yet - but i'll be doing so as I have a bunch of ttf i want to try out in my new install of IFX!

I read somewhere that there is a font install program: Utilities/FTManager. It sounds like it works the way the true type font manager on my amiga worked.
that is, put your true type font somewhere and in the FTManager select the font, and click install. I'll be checking out if it works that way and how well!

I just installed some fonts the other day. Here is how it is done:

1. Copy the font .ttf files into MOSSYS:fonts/_ttf.

2. Start FTManager in the Utilities drawer. It's the same
manager that comes with TTEngine.

3. Set your source and destination font directories.

4. The font list should come up. Double-click a font to set its
options and install the font.

When you set your options for your fonts, make sure you set the metric
to "Raw Font Metric" or the descenders will get chopped off.
