| How to extract the fonts from zip files |
This tutorial will only work if you are using Windows ME, 2003 or XP.
If you are using Windows 95, 98 or 2000 you will need to use 3rd party software to extract the zip files. A very good example I would recommend is: StuffIt For Windows
Right mouse click on a font zip file and select the Extract All... menu option as shown in the image below:
You will now be shown a screen similar to the one below:
To continue press the Next button.
At the next screen, as shown below, enter the path where you want files to be extracted to. You can either enter the location manually or you can use the browse button to find the directory you wish to use. In the image below we are extracting the files in the zip file to the directory D:\myfontfiles. If that directory does not exist, it will be created.
After you type in the location you wish the files to be extracted to, press the Next button.
The files will now be extracted and you are presented with a screen similar to the one below asking if you would like to open the folder you extracted the files to.
If you want to see the extracted files, leave the checkmark in place, otherwise uncheck the box labeled Show extracted files. Then press the finish button. Your new font files can now be found in the directory you have specified and you can begin to use them.

| Installing fonts into Windows |
You now need to copy your new font to the windows fonts folder. To do this, right click on your new font.
On the drop down menu click copy.
Now go to the Windows desktop.
Click on the start button in the lower left hand corner of your desktop.
The menu that appears, click on the control panel selection.
When the control panel opens, right click on the fonts folder.
On the mini menu, click paste. Your new font will now be copied into the windows fonts folder.
Your new fonts are now installed and ready to be used by all available software applications that use fonts.
NOTE: If you try to install a font which is already installed, you will be presented with a warning window telling you that you cannot install the font unless you first un-install it. |
