Download them from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/typography\/fontpack\/\">http:\/\/www.microsoft.c om\/typography\/fontpack\/<\/a><br \/>\nHowever, you&#8217;ll notice there are downloads for Win95\/NT, MacOS, and Win 3.1. They all contain the exact same fonts, but it&#8217;s important that you download the Win 3.1 version. Why? Because BeOS can&#8217;t handle the Mac .hqx format, and the 95\/NT download is an installer executable. But the Win 3.1 version is just a .zip file, packaged as an .exe. So once you&#8217;ve downloaded, drag the .exe into Expander to unzip the fonts.<br \/>\nVerdana is a great font for all your menus, while monospace.com is a great Terminal font.<br \/>\n<em>* BeOS for PPC can use TrueType fonts too, but they must be run through a preprocessor first.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BeOS for Intel can utilize all of your TrueType fonts*.
