The left side of the main Printer's Apprentice window contains a series of tabs used to select the source of fonts that you are viewing. Each tab is described below.

Installed Fonts

This tab lists fonts that are currently installed in Windows. Typically, this list will match the list found in your Windows fonts folder. Printer's Apprentice builds this list by querying Windows and the Registry.

Printer's Apprentice denotes the type of font installed using the icons listed below:

• TrueType font
• OpenType font
• Adobe Type 1 font
• The font format cannot be determined. This is usually because the font's Registry entry is invalid or missing.

If you want to see the full path for the font file, use the Options dialog and select the "Show full paths for font files" checkbox. You can also toggle the Properties panel and the Resource File columns using the View|Installed Fonts menu.

Font Files

This tab has a folder tree on the top and a list of files on the bottom. Use the folder tree to navigate to a folder containing fonts and they will be displayed in the bottom list.

Printer's Apprentice uses the same icons, listed above, to indicate the type of font. If a font with the same name is currently installed, the icon will be a Windows flag.

• Indicates that a font with the same font name or file name is installed.

If you want to see the full path for the font file, use the Options dialog and select the "Show full paths for font files" checkbox. You can also toggle the Properties panel and the Resource File columns using the View|Font Files menu.

Font Groups

In Printer's Apprentice, a font group is nothing more than a folder full of font files in a special directory. You can then use Printer's Apprentice to install and uninstall all the fonts in a group at once.

The Font Groups tab is similar to the Font Files tab. There is a folder tree on the top an a list of fonts for the selected group in the bottom. Printer's Apprentice stores font groups in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Printer's Apprentice\Font Groups. You can customize the font groups folder location by using the Options dialog.

Printer's Apprentice uses the same icons, listed above, to indicate the type of font. If a font with the same name is currently installed, the icon will be a Windows flag.

• Indicates that a font with the same font name or file name is installed.
