How to get and install vps Fonts

In order to read the vietnamese document, you will need a vietnamese ttf font produced by vps (Vietnamese professional society - hoi chuyen gia viet Nam). please take note or print out this procedure:

1. You first need to download a self-extract file, vpsfonts.exe, by clicking here
2. Store it in a temporary directory on your hard disk, such as C:\TMP
3. Run program vpsfonts.exe from your PC. the vps font files, VPS*.TTF, will be generated in that C:\TMP directory (there are three vps fonts)
4. To install those vps fonts into your windows system:

   Run control panel / fonts

   Select install new fonts

   Select directory C:\TMP, and then, the vps fonts

5. Run netscape Navigator. select options / general preferences / Fonts
6. Choose one of the vps fonts as your proportional font and/or fixed Font.

Beside three provided fonts in vpsfonts.exe, you can get a lot more VPS, viscii fonts at ftp://ftp.media.mit.edu/pub/Vietnet the installation method is a bit difference, because those font files at vietnet directory are zip files. you need to extract the font files into a directory and continue from step 4 above. at the same place, you can get vpswin3d.zip (vps keyboard) or winvnk14.zip (viscii keyboard) which allows you to type vietnamese characters in your text editors.

Have fun!
