Installing Fonts


Don't know how to download a font? Look no further!

Finding

This process is very easy. There are so many free downloading fonts sites out there. One I found quite recently was Urban Fonts, and I think it's the best out of them all, but I found most of my fonts on DaFont. You have to be careful, though, because there are a lot of font sites that are not free, and if you click the wrong thing you can end up in a mess. I'm going to put up a few font sites I know of. Some are free, some aren't. Be careful.

Downloading

To download a font off one of these websites is made easy for your convenience. Next to the picture of the font (usually), there is a button or link that says either "Download" or computer names (i.e. "Win" or "Mac"). Click the one that applies to you and a window will pop up, which should look like this:



My example is done downloading the font called "mosquito", so yours should say whichever font you chose to download. Make sure your Open with is under your default. A window from My Computer will pop up, displaying the font in your Temporary Files. Right click the font and select "Cut". In the same window, go to My Documents and create a new folder named "Fonts" or something similarly easy to remember. Once you're in the folder, right click the screen and select "Paste".

Saving

Go to the Start menu and open Control Panel, then the Fonts folder. Click File>>Install New Font... and a window called "Add Fonts" will pop up. Underneath Folders: c:\windows, double click the following.

c:\
 Documents and Settings
  Owner
   My Documents
    Fonts

The list of fonts will fill with the fonts you downloaded. Select the fonts you want, or click the "Select All" button. Make sure the "Copy font to Font folder" box is checked, and then press OK. It will transfer your downloaded fonts into your computer's font archive. When it is at 100%, you're finished!
