Installing the font that you will need for class

1. Download the four font files that I have just sent you. Get ready to “drop” them into the “FONTS” folder (or copy and paste them). Here is how you get this “FONTS” folder.

How to open your computer’s “FONTS” folder:

2. Click on “My computer” and then on “Local Disk (c:)”.

3. Click on “WINDOWS”. Then click on “Fonts”.

4. Then drag and drop (or copy paste) (or save directly) the four font files (.ttf) I sent you:

• Ipa-samd Uclphon1 SILDoulosL,

• Ipa-samd Uclphon1 SILDoulosL Bold,

• Ipa-samd Uclphon1 SILDoulosL Bold Italic

• Ipa-samd Uclphon1 SILDoulosL Italic

5. Now, check in Word, in your list of fonts, to see if it was added (this font should also be available in every program, e.g. PowerPoint, etc.).

6. If everything is properly installed, you should be able to read this “secret IPA message”:

[ϕυϖδςνΙτ] (

REMEMBER:

• You have only installed this font for this specific computer. To use this font on another computer, you will have to install it again.

• The computer labs at the university are not equipped to use this font.

PRINTING:

• Remember that you will have to have to font installed unto a computer in order to print a text that uses this IPA font. If you were to work on a text from your home, and choose to bring your text to the university computer lab, you most likely will not be able to print your text correctly.

How to use fonts

There are two ways to use the fonts in Word:

1. When you are in the “home” tab in Word, you can simply choose the font (as shown in section 5 in the previous section). It doesn’t take too long to figure out all the right keys for each IPA symbol since they are fairly straightforward.

-OR-

2. When you are in the “Insert” tab in Word, you can click on “Symbol”. A window should pop up. Be sure to choose the right font in the “Font” menu.

Then click on the desired IPA symbol. Finally, click on the “Insert” button. The IPA symbol should then appear in your text.
