When was a font installed onto the hard disc please?

Thank you for your reply.

The problem that arose was that I seemed to have obtained a copy of a rather nice font named ColdSpaghetti BTN.

I have later worked out that it possibly, even probably, though not certainly, arrived bundled with the free software mentioned in the following post.

Are OpenType and budget software incompatible?

Earlier in this thread, timestamped as 13 Apr 2009 06:16. I have recently been using some rather nice free software, Serif WebPlus Starter Edition and have found that if I use the HTML Text Frame Tool to draw a frame and then typeset words such as actually and copper using the Chronicle Text Experiments font and then preview the page using Firefox (I currently have version 3.6.9 in use) that the OpenType ligatures are used in the display. Looking at the source code for the web page that Serif…

I first became aware of the existence of the font when I some time later downloaded and tried some free Music Website Templates from the http://www.serif.com/ webspace. One needs to click on Free Downloads and then choose “Download FREE content packs” and then select the Music Website Templates. The ColdSpaghetti BTN font is used on the Master A page.

I use various of the Serif packages, mostly PagePlus, and I am an enthusiast for the ImpactPlus program, so I tried the ColdSpaghetti BTN font with ImpactPlus and, in my opinion, the two items go very well together.
