Disk Operations 1 07
The
Font Mover Application
The
Font Mover
is
an
application which should be
included
on
the Write/
Paint
diskette. Its purpose
is
to allow
the operator to remove most
of
the font information from the
System file. When it
is
not
needed, the font information
can
be
loaded into a special document
and
can be copied
and
held
on
a
data disk.
To use the application, copy it
onto
the disk from which
you want
to
remove the font information.
For
the purpose
of
our
illustration, insert a startup disk featuring the Font Mover
into the Mac.
Open the application icon. The window shown in
figure 4.2 will appear. To move a font into the Fonts file, select
the font by clicking
on
the font name in the left column. The
font name will become highlighted as shown in figure 4.3. The
font name, point size, disk memory size,
and
a sample
of
the
font will appear in the lower portion
of
the window. Now select
Copy
and
the font will appear in the right column. Notice
that
the arrows surrounding the word Copy point in the direction
the copy will occur. To select more
than
one font, position the
pointer on the first font in the list
and
drag
to
the last font in the
list.
The
selected font names will become highlighted as shown
in figure 4.4.
Only the total disk size
of
the selected fonts will
appear
in the lower
part
of
the window. When Copy
is
selected,
the highlighted fonts will appear in the right column.
To remove fonts from the System file, select the font
or
fonts in the left column and select Remove. The fonts will
disappear from the System file list. Note
that
the fonts which
appear
with an asterisk
cannot
be removed from the System
file as they are essential to the Mac's operation.
It
would be
unwise to remove a font from the System file without first
transferring it
to
the Fonts file.
The
Mac
will repeat these instructions when you select the
Help
option
from the Font Mover window. To exit the Font
Mover application, select Quit.
The
changes you have specified
will be recorded,
and
the application will rewrite the System
