This document contains application notes that are not included in 
the FontMinder User's Guide or in online Help.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.  The Marlett TrueType font in Windows 95

We recommend that you always leave Marlett installed in Windows 95.  
This font is used by the system to paint portions of Windows' controls 
and dialog boxes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.  TrueType fonts and the Windows 95 Explorer

The Windows 95 Explorer has a special feature that automatically 
installs any font file that resides in the Fonts directory (usually 
\WINDOWS\FONTS). This auto-installation occurs whenever you change 
to the Fonts directory in the Explorer program.  If you wish to avoid
this and you do not have programs that depend on the fonts residing in 
the Fonts directory, you can move the fonts to a different directory 
(such as C:\TTFONTS) using FontMinder's Manage Files feature.  This will 
prevent the auto-installation feature of Explorer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Using FontMinder with PageMaker 4.0 or 5.0

If you install PostScript fonts while PageMaker 4.0 or 5.0 is running 
and your target printer is a PostScript printer, PageMaker will not 
reflect your font changes until it is exited and restarted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Using FontMinder with Ventura Publisher 4.x

If you install fonts while Ventura Publisher 4.x is running you will
need to rebuild your Width Table for Ventura Publisher to refresh its
font list.  To do this, from the File menu select Manage Width Table.
In the Manage Width Table dialog box, click on "Use Environment's 
Width Table" and click on OK.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Using FontMinder with QuarkXPress 3.x

If you install fonts while QuarkXPress 3.x is running you will need 
to close and restart QuarkXPress in order to refresh its font list.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Using FontMinder with CorelDraw 3.0

If you install fonts while CorelDraw 3.0 is running you will need 
to close and restart CorelDraw 3.0 in order to refresh its font list.
This limitation does not exist in later versions of CorelDraw.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Using FontMinder with the LaserMaster WinJet

When printing samples of uninstalled fonts choose the WinPrint
Direct option or Install the fonts in Windows prior to printing. 
LaserMaster also has a "Tips, Tricks & Techniques" bulletin,
LaserLine #143, "Using FontMinder with the WinPrint Font
Manager." This bulletin is available from LaserMaster fax tech
support.

8. Improving Performance

You can greatly improve FontMinder's and other Windows Applications' 
performance by using a disk cache with read and write buffering 
enabled.
