How do I install fonts on a Mac running PageMaker 6.5 or 7?
The Herff Jones Fonts are located in the Fonts folder on the Software DVD.
We are continually updating our font collection to ensure compatibility with the latest software. To be sure that you are working with the most recent font version, it is important to remove any previous versions of the Herff Jones fonts before you install new fonts. Herff Jones fonts all begin with “AHJ.” This should help you identify which fonts are part of the Herff Jones collection.
When the Technology Installer on the Software DVD is run, a Yearbook folder is automatically created on the hard drive inside the Herff Jones folder. Inside the Yearbook folder, a Fonts folder is also automatically created to hold all of the Herff Jones fonts, AHJ Sans and AHJ Times are copied into this folder by the installer. Copy the fonts you want to use from the Fonts folder on the Software DVD into the Fonts folder.
Since the Herff Jones fonts are Postscript®, you must have Adobe® Type Manager® ("ATM") installed on your computer unless you are operating with Mac OS X. Mac OS X users running applications in Classic mode, such as Adobe® PageMaker®, must install ATM Lite 4.6.2 for fonts to render correctly (PageMaker includes ATM® Light, which may have been installed along with PageMaker; if not, check your PageMaker CD and install ATM® Light).
NOTE: As you install the Herff Jones fonts, you may notice the .bmap extension after the font names on the font folders. This does not mean that these are bitmapped fonts. It simply indicates the screen version of the font is included in the folder. All Your Type fonts are Postscript® fonts.
If ATM is installed on your system and you are not operating with Mac OS X, refer to the instructions below to find the instructions for installing the Herff Jones fonts with your particular version of ATM (either "Light" or "Deluxe"). If applications will be run in both Classic mode and OS X, install fonts following the ATM Light instructions.
