Errdoth Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Extract the font somewhere -> copy and past it into c:\windows\fonts If that doesn't work, then you have a problem with your fonts folder. I'm assuming you're using XP? Last.fm Signature Overlays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon_7 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 That's how you add font's to computers, by copying and pasting. Copy the font and paste it in the Fonts folder (C:\WINDOWS\Fonts). It's possible that you may have to restart your computer or something but I seriously doubt it. I don't understand how that wouldn't work for you. What exactly are you trying to do/use the font for?

vleademir Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 When you go to save it, is is a .zip file and you cant save into fonts folder as a zip and i am unable to change it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon_7 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Well I used Google and got these instructions: Select and Right click on the Font(s) you want to install and select Install from the context menu that appear. Your font will be instaled if it is right for Windows Vista. But it will confirm your acceptance by asking you through user account control pop up window. Simply click on Continue, and you are done.

vleademir Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 I read that also, but i cant because they are zip files. Any good sites to download fonts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade995 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I read that also, but i cant because they are zip files. Any good sites to download fonts? A zip file is a compressed folder with the font file inside of it. You will need to extract it. If your on XP or Vista, they both have a built in extractor or you can use the program Winrar.

Brandon_7 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Unzip the file that the fonts are in then, lol. Obviously you can't add the fonts if they're inside of a file. :? And if you want free fonts just Google "free fonts". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errdoth Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 If you're just pasting the zip file in your font's folder, then no crap it's not going to work :lol: I've used dafont for a lot of fonts Last.fm Signature Overlays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
