SUMMARY
=======

You cannot use the Fontware Installation Kit to install Bitstream SoftFonts.
Although SoftFonts and Fontware are both made by Bitstream, they are two
separate products. SoftFonts should be installed using the SoftFont Installer
provided with the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet printer driver.

MORE INFORMATION
================

A Bitstream Fontware Installation Kit is available through a fulfillment coupon
included with the retail version of Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows. This
starter kit will install fonts for Windows applications only; however, the kit
can be merged with other starter kits to provide support for multiple
applications.
