Select "Fiery X2e PRN-M."

Installing screen fonts

If you experience problems installing the PostScript screen fonts from the User Software CD to the System Folder:Fonts folder, try the following:

1. Quit all applications and close all windows.
2. Create a new folder and name it "Uninstalled Fonts."

This folder must be located outside of the System Folder.

1. Move fonts that you are not using from the System Folder:Fonts folder to the Uninstalled Fonts folder.
2. Continue to copy fonts from the User Software CD to the System Folder:Fonts folder.
3. Create an alias to the System Folder:Fonts folder and to the Uninstalled Fonts folder.
4. Place both aliases on your desktop.
5. When necessary, use the aliases to open both folders and move fonts between them. If you have any applications running, you must quit and relaunch them in order to view and use the newly installed fonts.

Alternatively, you can try combining fonts from multiple suitcases into a single suitcase.
