In order to use PostScript Type 1 or OpenType .otf fonts in Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows NT 4, you must first install Adobe Type Manager (ATM), and then install the fonts through ATM.  OpenType .otf fonts require ATM version 4.1 or higher.  PostScript Type 1 fonts require ATM version 4.0 or higher, and are also compatible with Windows 95.  Note that Windows 2000 and XP do not require ATM.

• To install Type 1 or OpenType .otf fonts in "Windows 95/98/ME" or "Windows NT 4.0" using ATM Light 4:
• • Choose "Start > Programs > Adobe > Adobe Type Manager".
  • In ATM, click the Fonts tab.
  • Choose "Browse For Fonts> from the >Source> pop-up menu".
• Navigate to the folder that contains the fonts that you want to install (if the fonts were wrapped in an installer, this may be in "C:\temp\Adobe" unless you told the installer to put them elsewhere).  The fonts located in that folder will appear below the folder's name.
• • Select the fonts that you want to install.  You can click to select one font, Ctrl-click to select several fonts, or Shift-click to select a contiguous group of fonts.
  • Press the "Add" button to install the fonts.
  • Exit ATM.

The fonts are now installed and will appear in the font menus of your applications.
