Tutorial: How to install fonts and brushes

[ThruItAll]

1. Download the brushes or font of your choice:

 

Brushes : http://www.deviantart.com

 

Fonts: http://www.dafont.com

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

2. Then it will pop up a small window like this will appear:

 

 

3. Click 'Save' and put it in a place you can remember like, My Documents.

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

4. Open up the place you saved it, now it should be there.

 

5. Right click on the file then it should be like this:

 

 

Note: If yours looks different, still follow the below steps, I am using WinRAR, where as others use WinZIP.

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

6. WinZIP: Right Click>Extract Files, when you do that click ok for everything. Now, it should make an unzipped copy of the folder.

 

Open that and right click and select 'Copy.

 

WinRAR: Now simply double click into the file and you should get this:

 

 

Now, ignore the '...' most files will do that, and select the other.

 

Then hit the 'Extract To' button, then it should make the copy unzipped.

 

Now open the copy and copy the file.

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

7. For fonts, go to: Start>Run>Type in 'Fonts.' Then simply paste your font in.

 

For brushes: Go to My Computer>Local Disk>Program Files>Then look for whatever program you're using. Usually typing the letter it begins with is helpful>Click that, then follow the line of folders, then go into brushes, and then paste them all in.

 

 

 

And You're Done!

Whats the difference between WinZIP and WinRAR?

 

Well, what the difference is that WinRAR can open .RAR folders too.

Luckily I already know how to install brushes/fonts, but I'm sure this will be userful to many beginners.

Yeh that's fine, just helps to break up the text. Large blocks can kill the eyes at times. :P

Otherwise, thanks for the highly needed Tut :D

Haha, never noticed that, thanks.

I have that same font also :D. .Rar files can be password protected and compress better than Zip files is the main difference. 8-)

Nice tutorial for people that don't know how. I'm sure a lot of people didn't know.
