It's
easy to download and install fonts from Download Heaven.
To download a font simply click on the font of your
choice, the white pill shaped graphic with the fonts
name. A "SAVE FILE" screen will pop up. Select or create
a new folder into which you want to save the zipped
font file.
For
the next step you will need WinZip. CLICK HERE to download the latest version of WinZip.
Once you have downloaded WinZip click on the zipped
file to unzip the font. You will need to remember into
which folder you placed the unzipped font. The folder
is normally named C:\unzipped so all the unzipped .ttf
folders should be there.
- Go
to the Windows 95/98 Desktop
- Double Click on the "My Computer" icon. As shown below.
- The "My
Computer" window will now be opened.
- Double Click on the "Control Panel" icon. As shown below.
- The "Control
Panel" window will now be opened.
- Double Click the "Fonts" icon. As shown below.
- The "Fonts" window
will now be opened. You should be able to view all
the fonts installed on your PC. As shown below.
- Click on "File" and when the pop-down window appears select "Install
New Fonts". As shown below.
- The "Add
Fonts" window will appear. As shown below.
- The
fonts should be placed by default in the C:\unzipped
folder. If not you should search until you find the
folder into which you unzipped the fonts.
- For
the next and final step Double Click on the font
you wish to install, ie Abduction. Once the font
is high lighted in the "List of fonts" section all
you have to do is simply click on the OK button to
install the font. Now don't tell me that wasn't easy.
Enjoy the fonts - Jason.
- I
have received several e-mails from people stating
that the "INSTALL NEW FONT" command does not appear
in their version of windows. If you don't see a "INSTALL
NEW FONT" command you can still install fonts by
using the DRAG AND DROP option. Simply unzip the
font, then open the font folder, it can be found
in START>SETTINGS>CONTROL PANEL>FONTS. Once
the font folder is opened place the mouse icon over
the unzipped true type font file, press down on the
left mouse button and keeping you finger pressed
on the font file you can now drag it into the font
folder. The font is now installed. SEE BELOW.
