These fonts are known as OpenType fonts (or True Type Open fonts). They are an extension of the standard True Type font and allow several "language scripts" to be stored in one font. Consequently, you will NOT see a separate Latvian/Baltic font installed on your system, just a few larger font files. You will only see the different language scripts in programs that support this, such as Wordpad.

*** Many of these fonts are installed when you install the multilingual extensions for Windows95 and Internet Explorer. (You may already have them.)***

These fonts are available from both the Microsoft Web Site and, as a convenience, are also available from this server as shown in the table below.
