| Font settings for
Quick Spec pages Internet
browsers handle fonts differently. Most Windows-based browsers should display the
Quick Spec pages correctly with no changes. If the pages don't appear correctly, try
the instructions below for Netscape Navigator, Netscape Communicator, Microsoft
Internet Explorer or Opera Software's Opera browser.
If you are using UNIX, LINUX, Macintosh
or other non-Windows environments, our specs are available in a format which does not
depend on special fonts. On the previous page, you will find a link which refers to
a page with "linedraw characters approximated by text." This link (right
below the link which lead you to this page) will take you to a version of the spec which
will be readable on your system.
In your Netscape
Navigator browser, you may need to set your fixed font default to "MS
LineDraw." Follow these instructions:
- Click on the Options menu, General Preferences.
- Select the Fonts tab.
- Click on the second "Choose Font" button to set your default Fixed Font.
- Find "MS LineDraw" in the list and click on it.
- Click on OK to close the font dialog, then OK to close the Options dialog.
- Click your browser's Back button to return to the previous page; you should see the
drawings correctly.
If you are using a Netscape Communicator browser version 4.0 or higher and
have dynamic fonts enabled, you should see the drawings correctly. To enable dynamic
fonts, take the following steps. If you do not wish to enable dynamic fonts, you may
need to install a new font and set it as your default fixed-width font per the second set of instructions below.
Using Netscape Communicator with dynamic
fonts:
- In the Netscape browser, click on the Edit
menu, Preferences.
- Open the Appearances tree (if a plus-sign
(+) appears to the left of Appearances, click once on it).
- Select the Fonts branch under Appearances.
- Select the third of the three radio
buttons--the one which reads "Use document-specified fonts, including dynamic
fonts."
- Click OK to close the Preferences dialog.
- Click your browser's Back button to return
to the previous page. Your browser will get the appropriate fonts from our server.
You may need to Reload the page to see the drawings correctly.
Using Netscape
Communicator without dynamic fonts:
- If your system supports TrueType fonts, download Seagate's "Letter Gothic
Line" TrueType font from ftp://ftp.seagate.com/techsuppt/letgothl.ttf
(or a zipped version from ftp://ftp.seagate.com/techsuppt/letgothl.zip).
- In Windows 95, copy the (unzipped) file to your \windows\fonts folder. In Windows
3.1, see the instructions below for installing the
font.

- Find the dropdown labeled "Fixed Width Fonts" and click on the down-arrow of
the dropdown list.
- Select "Letter Gothic Line."
- Click OK to close the Preferences dialog.
- Click your browser's Back button to return to the previous page; you may need to Reload
the page to see the drawings correctly.

return to the Fonts dialog and select the radio button labeled "Use my default
fonts..." You may wish to change this back when you leave the Seagate web site.

font and set it as your default fixed-width font:
