I assume your using a Windows machine.

You want the pfm file.

Once you download it, try double clicking on it. Windows Font Manager will display the font and verify that you downloaded it correctly.

To install the font, simple copy the file FrutigerNextLT-Black.pfm to your Windows Font directory.

That should be located at C:\Windows\Fonts or C:\Winnt\Fonts

Ah, Windows 98 may be a different situation.

I know that the .pfm file is appropriate for Win2000/XP.

Thanks for your help. I got it to work with a free program called Adobe Type Manager Light. :hole
