When you refer to "TrueType v1.0", are you referring to an INIT? I downloaded the TrueType files from apple.com and found no INIT amongst them. Is it located on an ftp site? -- Bill Taroli -- (315) 443-8067 | The only thing necessary for the| ____ | triumph of evil is for good men | \ / Internet: wwtaroli@rodan.acs.syr.edu | to do nothing. -- Edmund Burke | \/ BITNET : wwtaroli@SUNRISE \---------------------------------/

Is it located on an ftp site? <sigh> Well, if you want to go the "Install things the official way" route, you need to ftp three of four possible files from pub/dts/sw.license at apple.com: [true-type-1-0.hqx] This contains the TrueType fonts themselves (Courier, Helvetica, Symbol, Times) and Font/DA Mover 4.1. [mac-printing-tools.hqx] This contains the updated drivers for all Apple printers except the Personal LaserWriter LS and the StyleWriter. [stylewriter-install.hqx] This contains the StyleWriter files, the TrueType Init, the Installer app, and the Installer script for installing TrueType and drivers for all Apple Printers. [personal-lw-ls-install.hqx] This contains the LaserWriter LS files, the TrueType Init, the Installer app, and the Installer script for installing TrueType and drivers for all Apple Printers. You need to get true-type-1-0.hqx, mac-printing-tools.hqx, and one of the two install files. Unlike the usual archives, these -aren't- DiskCopy images - they're just StuffIt archives. If you want to use the Installer, you should put the files from each individual archive on a single disk per archive. Disks and names: [true-type-1-0.hqx] -> TrueType(tm) Fonts [mac-printing-tools.hqx] -> Macintosh Printing Tools [stylewriter-install.hqx] -> Stylewriter Install [personal-lw-ls-install.hqx] -> Personal LW LS Install* * This one is a guess, I didn't download this file. Boot off your System Tools Disk, insert the Install disk that you've downloaded and made, and run the installer script. Voila - options from heck. Have fun... Now, if you want to go the "gung - ho - I'll - copy - it - myself - to - heck - with - installer - scripts" route, then you need to pull the TrueType Init from one of the install archives, the TrueType fonts and updated Font/DA mover from the TrueType archive, and your printer driver from the printing tools archive.

I recently downloaded the TrueType "disks" from apple.com. Unlike other system software in the sw.license directory, these were not in "disk image" format. After unbinhexing and unstuffing, I copied the "disk files" to appropriate floppies and tried to run the installer on the LS Laserwriter disk. First the installation failed because the "TrueType" disk was not properly named (TrueType(TM) Fonts). After renaming the disk appropriately I get a different failure message, to the effect that "Yeah, this disk has the right name, but it is not REALLY the right disk." Since one of the README files on these disks insists (unnecessarily?) that the installer be used, I am reluctant to do the installation by hand (is there some INIT 99 that needs to be installed in the System file?). So, is there anything missing from the TrueType disk or are these errors a side effect of the files on apple.com not being in disk image format in the first place?
