twokidsinagarage: FONTS FAQ








	This FAQ explains it all. The info here is basically the same as in your readme file, but we all know you never read those (we're excused 'cause we kids can't read)! If however this info is still not helping, just drop us a line: info@<NOSPAM>twokidsinagarage.com Remove the <NOSPAM> label from this address if you actually want to reach us, it's there to fool spiders and robots (he he). Note: At the moment our fonts don't work on PalmOS5 or higher, but we're working on a fix for that (around april 2004).
	HOW TO INSTALL		To be able to use the TK Font Collection you must install an extension manager (like Hackmaster, Tealmaster, EVPlugbase or X-master) and FontHack first! We have been using Hackmaster for quite some time now, but the most popular extension manager at the moment is X-Master. X-Master and FontHack are included within the "Add-on" folder in the TK Font folder you have downloaded.

	INSTALLATING THE FONTS		Please consult your Palm User Guide first if you're a new user! And PLEASE read the readme files for X-Master and FontHack FIRST! Backup your Palm data (Hotsync) Install X-Master and FontHack on your Palm and at least one TK Font, or otherwise you won't have any font to choose. Launch X-Master and activate FontHack by tapping on the checkbox (left side) Choose "Details - Configure". Now replace a system font with the TK Font of your choice. You can replace them in all and / or single applications as you like. (The procedure for For HackMaster, TealMaster and EVPlugbase is a little bit different. Plase consult the readme file) With AAA FontViewer you can easily preview and delete all fonts. You can also delete fonts with the System Laucher (Menu - Delete).

	WHERE CAN I FIND OTHER EXTENSION MANAGERS		You can download all the extension managers youé want to try from any big Palm Sotware site. We would suggest you try finding them at Palmgear or Handango.

	IF I DOUBLE CLICK ON THE WINZIP FILE IT ASKS ME HOW I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN THE DOCUMENT. IF I SAY WORDPAD I GET A BUNCH OF GOBBLEDIGOOK.		A zipfile can ONLY be opened by a utility (program) like NetZip or WinZip. So, if Windows asks you how you would like to open the file, you should say 'WinZip' (or 'NetZip', depending on the zip utility you are working with). As soon as the zipfile is opened in one of those utilities, you will see all the other files in there. Then you can select the 'extract' command to extract all the individual files from the zipfile in WinZip.

	OK, SO I NEED AN 'UNZIP' UTILITY TO EXTRACT YOUR FILES FROM THE ZIPFILE. CAN YOU SEND ME ONE OR CAN I DOWNLOAD IT FROM YOUR SITE SOMEWHERE?		If you do not have a utility like WinZip or NetZip, you can go to Winfiles or any of the other download sites like for example CNet, Tucows, DaveCentralor WinSite to download a fully working evaluation version. Please do not forget to register this version if you are planning to keep it on your harddrive.

	ACCORDING TO YOUR INSTRUCTIONS I SHOULD HAVE A .GIF FILE AND SOME .TXT FILES - I DON'T!		Yes, you do. That's the magic of zipfiles! They can contain a whole bunch of other files, which are compressed and put together in the one zipfile. This is used to facilitate the distribution of large amounts of files at one time, so that we are sure that people receive ALL the files. In other words: the .gif file and the .txt files (and all the other files listed in the README.TXT file) are all INSIDE the zipfile.

	I AM IN PANIC !		If something dramatic should happen, like a reset loop, do not perform a hard reset, but a warm reset: hold down the page up button while resetting manually (this is called a "warm reset"). Now launch X-Master (or your extension manager) and deactivate FontHack. Reset the Palm again (normal soft reset). This should fix the problem without data loss.

	I LIKE IT A LOT. WHERE CAN I BUY!		Actually, this set is for F R E E. But if you like it a lot we would be very pleased if you would like to buy the set for just $5,- (at Palmgear or Handango). Especially because 10% of A L L our earnings gor the Dewar Wildlife Trust! But without you there is little to donate...

	CAN YOU ADVICE ON WHICH FONT TO USE		Yes, and we already did :-) There is some advice on the FONTS page on this website, just hoover over the names of the different fonts But when you download the complete set you'll see that we give some hints on when and where to use which fonts. Have fun!

	HOW MANY FONTS DO I GET		Depending on how you count either 19, or a little over 40. We have 19 different Fonts, but for some fonts we also made an italic and bold version, sometimes even a Large, Large Italic and Large Bold or Narrow and Narrow Bold version. If you count all those different fonts we have little over 40.
