PUBLIC - (System) - Install Alma Print Slip Fonts

For Alma Print Slip
The Oshkosh font flips the text on Alma Print slips upside down and backward. Both the Oshkosh font and the 3of9 Barcode Font are used when printing Alma slips.
To install the fonts on a computer you sign in to with NetID, follow the steps below:
  1. Open File Explorer
  2. Navigate to the This PC > Data (Y:) drive
    "Y:\Fonts\Alma Print Slip Fonts"


Note: If you are using a Circulation computer (e.g. GLS-CLIB1234), please contact LTG for help installing the font so that it persists on a shared computer after it restarts and wipes user data.
