NOTE: These are the default directory names (assuming a root drive of drive C)
suggested by the Intellifont installation program.

During installation, Intellifont-for-Windows modifies your SYSTEM.INI file after
making a backup called SYSTEM.IFW. Before installation, there is a line in your
SYSTEM.INI file such as

  display.drv=vga.drv

or a similar line for the display driver you are using. After installing
Intellifont-for-Windows, this information is updated to:

  display.drv=ifw.drv
  chain_display=vga.drv

The Intellifont installation also adds the following to your WIN.INI file and
makes a backup called WIN.IFW:

  [Intellifont]
  SupportFiles=c:\td\type
  ifwstatus=1
  FontSumUpdat=0
