The TrueType Disk Set (INIT plus fonts and drivers) is no longer available. However there are some additional sources for the TrueType Init needed for System 6. The TrueType init comes with the following printer software:
* LaserWriter Select 300 - TrueType Init is on Disk 2 Printer Software.
* Personal LaserWriter 300 - TrueType Init is compressed. Use Installer.
*╩Personal LaserWriter 320 - TrueType Init is compressed. Use Installer.
*╩StyleWriter - TrueType Init is on StyleWriter Installation Disk 1.
* StyleWriter II - TrueType Init is on Disk 2 Printer Software.
If you know someone who has the TrueType Disk set disks, you can also install them to get TrueType functionality with a System 6 machine.
Your Macintosh must have at least 1 MB of RAM and system software version 6.0.7 or later. Although the TrueType software works on System 6.0.5, Apple hasn't thoroughly tested it under 6.0.5. Therefore, we recommend you upgrade to System 6.0.7 or later. System 7.0 users don't need to install this software because the TrueType functionality is built into System 7.
The TrueType INIT goes into the root level of the System Folder. The fonts need to be installed using the Font/DA mover found on Disk 1 (version 4.1)
Full installation instructions can be found in the ReadMe file on Disk 1.
