</html> # Fonts for CSS Testing If you don't have the CSS testing fonts installed, many tests will appear to fail! Install the [CSS Testing Fonts](http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/Fonts/) if you want accurate test results. ## The Ahem Font Many of the tests in the CSS Test Suite rely on the [Ahem font](http://dev.w3.org/CSS/fonts/ahem/). Ahem's glyphs are all rectangles, which makes it easy to test the inline box model. More details are available in the [Ahem README file](http://dev.w3.org/CSS/fonts/ahem/README). The Ahem font is available in several formats for different systems. If we are missing yours, and you can create one, we would welcome your contribution. Send us a message on the [public-css-testsuite mailing list](http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-css-testsuite). ### Installing Ahem on Windows 1. Download the [TrueType version of Ahem](http://dev.w3.org/CSS/fonts/ahem/AHEM____.TTF). 1. Open the folder where you downloaded the font file. - **For Windows XP/Server 2003:** 1. Open the Fonts folder from the Control Panel. 1. Drag-and-drop the downloaded file to the fonts folder. - **For Windows Vista/Server 2008** 1. Right-click the downloaded font file and select "Install". 1. Confirm your acceptance to the User Account Control (UAC) pop-up window by selecting "continue". ### Installing Ahem on Mac OS X 1.
