Questions with Downloading Font?

Question

I am downloading a font and when i extract the font, I go ahead and copy and i try to paste it in the fonts folder but it says The (font) is currently being used and cannot be replaced. I don't know what that means! It used to work before, but now it's not for some odd reason! Please help me i really love these cool fonts! :)

Answer 1

There is a possibly that you ran across another font with the same file name.  Unlikely, but possible.  Try to check the font by name in the fonts folder.  If it's there then you have an option to overwrite that one or rename the one you extracted before installing in the fonts folder.

Answer 2

maybe try restarting your computer and then retrying it.

When downloading it, the computer thinks its already being used but its really not, and therefore it wont work. so just restart your computer and you should be ok.

Answer 3

You can try making a shortcut to the font, and drag the shortcut to the Fonts Folder.
