How to Install PG Fonts for Band-In-a-Box

Band-in-a-Box is a music utility that can create professional quality backing-tracks based on chords and a variety of pre-defined styles (such as "Rock" and "Jazz"). Additionally, Band-in-a-Box allows you to create chord sheets that you can print and give to real musicians. Band-in-a-Box installs custom fonts in order to generate and print these chord sheets.
