I just downloaded the Optima screen font zip file from Compuserve to use
on my Windows 3.1 machine running Aldus PageMaker 4.0. After unzipping
the file, I find that all the zip file consists of is .FON files. I then
proceeded to install them using the Fonts Control Panel under the Main
window. The installation completes and I see the Optima screen fonts in
the installed list of fonts. When I click on these, the sample window
shows me a sample of what the font looks like and at the bottm of the
sample window, informs me that this is a screen or plotter font.

The problem arises when I try to access the font in any other program.
The installed Optima screen font does not appear in any of the font
menus. 

Is there an additional step I have not taken?

There were no installation instructions with the screen font zip file.

Thanks in advance.

Frank.
