  3. For older versions of Windows, go to the "Program Manager", double-click on the icon "Main", and once in "Main", double-click on the icon "Control Panels". For newer versions of Windows, go to the "Start" menu, select "Settings", then "Control Panels".
  4. Double-click on the icon or folder "Fonts".
  5. Click the button "Add" (older versions), or choose "Install New Font" from the "File" menu (newer versions).
  6. Go through the file directory listing until you find the directory of the file that you unzipped. There will be a listing of available fonts to add in the lower window. You can choose one of these by clicking on it or you can use the "Select All" button.
  7. Make sure the "Copy Fonts to Windows Directory" (older versions) or "Copy Fonts to Fonts Folder" (newer versions) check-box is checked. This will copy the fonts into your Windows Directory or Fonts Folder.
  8. Click the "OK" button.
  9. The font has been added and should be available to all of the programs.
  10. Do not forget to set your browser display options correctly in order to use the AlaBas font. Please refer to the Display and Fonts help pages.
Unzipping Windows Files

The Windows fonts are stored as .zip files. In order to use the Windows font files here, you must have a utility to convert them to usable files. If you do not have a utility to unzip these files please go to the official WinZip home page, or you can search elsewhere for shareware unzip utilities.

Macintosh

Installing the Macintosh AlaBas font

  1. You need to have StuffIt Expander or another decompression/unzipping utility installed on your Macintosh before you can download the Mac fonts. Please download the relevant software, if you do not have it, from the official StuffIt Expander Home Page.
  2. Download the AlaBas font by selecting it from above. Make sure you have your browser download options set correctly; if necessary, consult the documentation which came with your browser. If prompted to choose an application to process the downloaded file, choose your version of Stuffit before downloading starts.
  3. Decompress the .sit file if it has not expanded yet automatically.
  4. You will then have some font files to install, either in a folder or by themselves. Generally, to install fonts you need to drag them onto your closed System folder icon. If you are asked if it's ok to put them in the fonts folder, say yes.
  5. The fonts will then be available for your use. As a dialog box may tell you, you need to restart programs that were already running when you installed the fonts in order to use the new fonts.
  6. Do not forget to set your browser display options correctly in order to use the AlaBas font. Please refer to the Display and Fonts help page.
