Downloading and Installing Fonts

The instructions below are for Windows users. I am unable to instruct Mac users, but I assume that since everything is easier on a Mac, no instructions will be needed.

  • Downloading. The font you most likely need is Lucida Bright Math Symbol. To download it, click on its name in the font list below. Do not attempt to open the file (LMATH1.TTF). Instead, save it to a removable disk or to a known location on your hard drive (e.g., the Desktop).

  • Installation. Open the Control Panel and click on Fonts. Then click on File and select Install New Font. Choose the location where you saved the font and click on the font or fonts you have downloaded. Click on OK to install.

  • Available fonts: In addition to Lucida Bright Math Symbol, I have included a few other fonts that you might also need to display special symbols used on this web site. For purposes of reading the practice quizzes, only the first should be required. The Symbol font should already be on your computer (it is included with Windows), but I have included it here in case it is not.

  • Firefox users: If you are using Firefox as your browser, the symbols may still not appear correctly even after these fonts have been installed on your computer. If this is happening to you, try using a different browser (e.g., Chrome or Internet Explorer). The problem should disappear.
