We are not experts in installing fonts, so please check the documentation of your operating system how fonts are installed. The following summarises our experiences with installing the font on Windows XP and Linux.
WARNING: Installing this font on Windows stops Visual Studio 2005 from opening its GUI Code Designer window! (It gives an error that says something about memory being corrupt). To fix this, you will need to uninstall the CZT font. We think this error is caused by the FontForge tool generating a CZTSans.ttf file that Visual Studio cannot handle, but we are still investigating possible solutions.
Go into Start/Control Panel, then into the Fonts program. (If you are using the new XP categories, you need to select Appearance and Themes first, then the Fonts link will appear in the left-hand sidebar). Once you are in the Fonts program, use the File/Install new font menu entry, then browse to the CZT_HOME\fonts directory and add the CZT Sans font.
Executing the following commands worked for me on gentoo (without having root privileges):
cd CZT_HOME/fonts
ttmkfdir > fonts.scale
mkfontdir
xset fp+ `pwd`
xset fp rehashMore information can be obtained from:
After installing the font, we can use the CZT font in jEdit. To do this, go into the jEdit global settings panel (you can use the Utilities/Global Options menu to open this panel), then into the Text Area pane and set the Text Font to be CZT (clicking on the existing font name will open a requestor, then you can scroll down the left-hand column to select the CZT family). You might also like to enable the Smooth Text and Fractional Font Metrics, to turn on anti-aliasing of fonts.
You need to restart jEdit to see the font in the CZT plugin as well, since the font in the CZT plugin cannot yet be set dynamically. After you have done this, you should see all the Z characters in the CZT plugin (no little square boxes, which mean a missing symbol in the font).
