Downloading and Installing Pepper Fonts

To install fonts on Windows XP, NT or 2000 you need to be logged into an administrative account. If you don't know whether or not your account is an administrative account, try it and see if it works.

For some Windows versions and certainly for Vista, you need to be logged in as an administrator.
To download, right click on the following link:

The Pepper True Type font files
Select "Save Target As..." (or "Save Link As...") from the pop-up menu.
Select where you want this file stored (the Desktop is OK) and click the Save button.
Click the close button if the download display does not automatically close.
Find and the program you just downloaded. You may need to close or shrink some windows so you can see the desktop behind the windows. You may need to right click on the desktop and select Refresh.
Run it by double clicking on it.
Vista users: see Vista instructions below. Change "Unzip to folder" to C:\WINNT\Fonts . Click the Unzip button. If that doesn't work, try C:\Windows\Fonts .
If this message does not appear, then you can't install the fonts because you're not using an administrative account. You'll have to find someone with an administrative login to add the fonts for you.
Click the OK button.
And then click the Close button.
Right click on pepfont.exe.
Choose Delete from the pop-up menu.
Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
Select Start -> Settings -> Control Panel or Start -> Control Panel.
Double click on the Fonts icon.
Confirm that the PEPPER fonts are present.

The font names are "PEPPER Proportional" and "PEPPER sans Diacritics". The second is the PEPPER font without diacritics. "sans" is French for "without".

In Microsoft Word, the font names are shown using the font. This is bad news for PEPPER Proportional, since capital letters are used for diacritics. It shows up in the font list as . Because the font needs extra space above the characters for possible diacritics, only the top half of the letters are shown.

For PEPPER sans Diacritics, things are a little better since being without diacrictics, the capital letters are treated the same as lower case letters. It comes out as .

The fonts are listed in alphabetical order so you should find them amoung the other fonts that start with "P".

Vista Instructions

Log in as an administrator.
Instead of trying to unzip the files directly into the Fonts folder, unzip them to someplace where you can find them. The desktop would be OK.
Open the fonts folder. You can either go to C:\Windows\Fonts or Start > Control Panels > Fonts.
Right click on the A at the lower left and select "Install new font" on the pop-up menu.
Locate the 4 pepper font files in the resulting dialog. The desktop is at C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop.
Click "Select All" and then "Install".
The new fonts do not appear until you close and reopen the Fonts folder.
Delete the font files and pepfont.exe from your desktop.

Questions and Answers

I'm having trouble downloading the PEPPER font to my computer and wondered if you could help. I've gotten administrative privileges on my computer, followed the directions as specified, but when I look in the "fonts" file under control panel, I can't find PEPPER.

Select "My Computer" on the Start menu. Open the C: drive. Click the "Search" icon at the top. Select "All files and folders". For "All or part of the file name" put in:pep*.ttfClick Search. This will tell you where the files ended up. Where they belong is in your C:\Windows\Fonts directory.

I'm having difficulty figuring out how to move the PEPPER fonts so I can use them in Word, Power Point, etc. Any suggestions?

Select Start -> Control Panel. Double click on "Fonts". On the File menu, select "Install New Font...". In the Folders window within the Add Fonts dialog, double click on c:\. Then double click on the other folders leading to the place where the pep*.ttf files are currently stored. The names of the four PEPPER fonts should appear in the "List of fonts" window. Click the "Select All" button and then the OK button.
