Installing OT1 Font Manager
To install, run the installation file you downloaded and follow the instructions in the Install program.
You need Administrative rights to install and run the program. When the UAC prompt is displayed, choose 'Allow'.
When it is started for the first time, OT1 Font Manager will ask you to create a 'Font Cases' folder, meant to become your central font repository. If you already have a font folder, enter its path. If not, OT1 Font Manager will create one for you.
Installed Fonts
You may notice what may appear as misbehavior in the list of installed fonts when you start OT1 Font Manager for the first time, especially if you use a localized version of Windows. Some fonts may be listed in color and/or duplicated. This is by design. One key feature of OT1 Font Manager lies in the reporting of conflicts and errors in fonts.
Read the program help for more explanations. The first part of the Help Content (Introduction) tries to give you an overview of font management in Windows.
Warning
As OT1 Font Manager may manipulate files, it may affect your Windows environment if you accidentally delete font files. After the program is installed, it might be useful to backup to backup all installed fonts to a Font Cases folder, which is meant to become your central font repository.
Before anything else, read the online help carefully and have a detailed look at the Preferences dialog box. On any account, do uninstall a font only if you are sure to know what you are doing et always keep backups (you may use OT1 Font Manager for that).
Windows Vista and following versions
As OT1 Font Manager is meant to perform administrative tasks, i.e. installing or uninstalling fonts, the User Access Control of Windows will issue a security prompt each time OT1 Font Manager starts. Choose 'Allow'.
