I can't figure out how to download fonts?

Question

Whenever I try to put the font into the font folder, it never goes in there. I have windows vista by the way. Can somebody give me step by step on what to do? And what is a really good font site ?

Answer 1

Hi,

1. Best place to get free fonts is http://www.maxfonts.com/

2. Right click the .ttf file and select "Copy"

3. Navigate to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts, right click and select "Paste"

4. The font is now installed, confirmation should be displayed on the screen.

You will be able to use them in any application, word, photoshop, etc

Regards,

Ryan

www.dafont.com

1) download the font (it's best to create a seperate folder for all of the downloaded fonts to go in first before the Fonts folder)

2) extract the folder

3) move the extracted file into the font folder

that's how i do it with dafont. And I've downloaded tons of fonts from there, and they have some really nice ones.

Be sure to restart any application where you want to use your new font. Otherwise, it won't show up.
