HOW TO INSTALL THE SUTTON FINGERSPELLING FONTS

There are two steps to the installation:

STEP ONE: Install the font into your computer's operating system.
STEP TWO: Change your keyboard to the font's country.

STEP ONE: FONT INSTALLATION

Drag the font suitcase "Sutton US.suit" (or whatever language version of the fonts you are installing) onto the System Folder icon. If you are running Mac OS 7.1 or greater, the bitmap and TrueType fonts will be installed automatically into the Fonts folder. If you are running Mac OS 7.0, the suitcases will be installed into the "System" file itself.

Double-click one of the suitcases "Sutton US.suit" to use the Font/DA Mover 4.1 to install the fonts into your "System" file.
