I had no idea you could install a TTF!!! On the other hand, the FreeType package makes pretty good looking fonts and gives you access to the fonts loaded on your computer...at a steeper memory price, I think.
I'm not sure what the difference is between loading a TTF as described and using FreeType, but, for example, a 9 point Verdana using FreeType is about the same size as a 12 point Verdana loaded manually.
BTW--anyone know how to uninstall a font loaded from the file list?

I'd like to try a different font, at least for the edit pane in the browser. When I select appearance...system fonts...default text font from the World menu, I see fonts from Accuat to ComicSansMS ... only 13 fonts. How do I get to fonts after ComicSansMS?
Hi Mark.
You need to install them first. Download a font from somewhere (e.g. a .ttf file), and select it in Squeak's "file list" tool. You can then install the font and start using it.
