    Font help
    « on: March 21, 2009, 07:29:55 PM »
    I need help geting more Fonts for my computer.

    I whent to About.com  and they have a topic about Fonts.
    And I click on Download 100 Free Fonts.

    But I get lost I donload something and then I click pon it and it Installs.
    Then after I install it it brings up a Window that taks me to a web site to click the fonts I wont to Install even after I thought I did Install them.

    Then it tell me on the page after you download the Fonts you want install them to Win Dire for Fonts.

    I don't know what I m doing so I un installed wht I did.

    Can someone tell me ware to go just for Fonts and you download them and install them??

    Thanks

      Well I ment.

      I am running win xp pro and I know I go to Controle Pannle and click the Fonts Folder and it opens and I see all my Fonts that are installed.

      And if I go to the top Tab I think Vuwe  or edit or in one of these Tabs it Says Ad New Font and you select the Font Type that you want to install.

      And you select from the list what Fonts to install.

      I get this I just don't know how to get the Font Type on my Decktop so I can go into Controle Pannle and click on Ad New Font.

      Use Notepad to see your current Fonts.

      Obviously 100 free fonts is too much for you to handle right now.   Fonts generally do not come with an installer so clicking on a font will not install it.  Lots of fonts come in a zipped file (fontname.zip) so have to be unzipped before being installed.

      So goto http://www.fontcubes.com/ and download the font named Ginga.  This comes in a file named Ginga.zip.  You must know to which folder your browser or download manager will download this.

      When the downloading is complete browse to where the file is stored and click on it.    Your default unzipping program (WinZip, IZarc etc..) will open and unzip the file to wherever you want, be it the desktop or any other location.

      Now goto Control Panel>Fonts>File tab>Install New Font.  Browse to where the unzipped font is stored and Ginga.ttf will appear in the List of Fonts box.  Highlight it and click OK.  The Ginga.ttf font will now be installed.

      Practice a few times then go for your 101 download..

      Good luck.
