Note: you must have
an unzipping utility installed on your computer to unzip the fonts you
download. WinZip is the best: www.winzip.com
1) Download the font
you want to install to a folder on your computer.
2) Double-Click the
downloaded font. This should open it in your default unzipping program.
3) "Extract" the font to the
following folder on your hard drive:
C:\windows\fonts ( this is the default
folder for fonts on windows 95/98 )
4) Once you have extracted
the font, navigate to the folder you just extracted it to. Click on this
folder. Once all your fonts are displayed, you should see the new one you just
installed. Double-Click the new font to "activate it".
5) Finally, open your program
you want to use the font in and it will now be one of the font choices
available.
SPECIAL NOTE: Some fonts that
you download "Are Not" the same "Name" as the font you download. Make note of
the font when you open it in WinZip or your unzipping program. For example, we
may call the ZIP file "okiefont.zip", while the actual font name may be
"dokieokie.ttf". The .ttf name is what will appear in the program you use the
font in.
That's it! It's really not as complex as it may seem if
you are using WinZip and become familar with it.
Good Luck!
