Installing Fonts

If you've downloaded some fonts and you're wondering how to install them, this tutorial will show you how.

Step 1

Right click on the zipped folder on your desktop and extract all to your desktop. If you can't extract, download a program like ALZip. If you see a TT icon, you don't need to extract anything and you can skip this step.

Windows

Go to your control panel and click "folders" on the top. A menu should show up on the left; click on fonts. (If you're using Vista, you have to go to Appearance and Personalization to get to the font folder). Drag the font file into the font folder and it should start installing. You might have to close any programs that were open for the installed font to appear.

Mac OS X

Open Font Book (in the Applications folder) and click the + sign underneath the list of fonts. Find the font file and click Open and the font should be installed. You might have to close any programs that were open for the installed font to appear.
