The toponymy of the new ICGC vector formats has been optimized for the Fira Sans font. Although this font is not available by default in some operating systems (Windows), it is open-licensed and can therefore be downloaded and installed free of charge.

Below we present brief instructions for installing this font that works in different versions of Windows. The user will need to consult the instructions for their specific operating system in case these instructions do not apply.

Some organizations may have a policy on the installation of fonts. In case of doubt, users should consult with the IT departments of their own organization before following these instructions.

The font can be downloaded from: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Fira+Sans, by clicking on the "Download Family" menu.

Once the source has been downloaded, a "FiraSans.zip" file will be downloaded, which we will have to unzip in some directory on the disk. For example, by right-clicking and "Extract".

A series of files with the .ttf extension will appear, which we can install by clicking on the "Install" option in the right-click menu.

We can verify that they have been installed by navigating to the C:\Window\Fonts directory. From this moment on, they should appear as available in the Geographic Information System we are working with (you may need to restart it if it was already open).
