Tutorial: Downloading and Installing Fonts

Okay. If you are currenty working on an image in a program, please close it now, since the fonts wont be loaded til you restart them. Okay?

Now, here we go.

You can easily find a good font sitre on google by looking up "Free Fonts"

But I'll save you the trouble. My favorite sites are

Dafont

Blambot

1001 Free Fonts 


Once you're on the site, please select the kind of font you're looking for. Download them and place em somewhere nice, like your desktop. Once you're done, you're gonna probably have to extract them from zip folders (if you're using XP or vista, you should be able to unzip them, though I highly recommend getting winRAR). 

 


So you're gonna select all the zip folders with your fonts by either pressing Ctrl + Click or by clicking and dragging a box around the fonts. Then you right click them and select "Extract files"



Then you pretty much select the directory they should go in. Make sure it's C:\WINDOWS\Fonts. Extract em, and they're all good. Next time you restart your graphic program or word processor, the fonts will be installed.
