Copying Fonts

Homeboy asked:

Do I have to install the fonts from the original disks going through 
the "install" procedure, or can I wholesale copy them from the
"fonts" 
folder in Windows on notebook to the same folder on the PC


Neither. You go to Start/Settings/ControlPanel/Fonts

File / Install New Fonts

Navigate to the notebook's hard drive, multi-select the fonts you want 
to install, and go.

If you're using Adobe Type Manager, you can use it the same way. Start 
it up and go through the install procedure, using your notebook's font 
folder(s) as the source.  If the notebook has Type 1 fonts with the 
.pfb and .pfm files in separate folders (as ATM defaults), then you 
will probably have to copy them all the same folder from which to install.
