Font Installation

How do you install a new font if it downloaded as a zip file?

I can't figure it out and google really isn't helping me. TIA!!!

Unzip it with a program.

Then move the unzipped file into the same folder where your other fonts are on your hard drive. That's what I did and it worked right away.

If you aren't sure where your fonts are, go into your main windows folder and unhide everything. Or you can search for a font like times and you'll see them. They're all ttf files.

I did this, and it's saying that the file is in use and cannot be installed, but I closed out of winzip, the demo box, everything I can think of that would be 'using' the file. I hate my computer!

OK, apparently I had to be logged in under administrator to install them. So annoying. Thanks Sandra!

Glad to hear it's working now!

I'm trying to copy pics from my computer to an SD card and it isn't working at all. I'm sad because I had this great idea of putting a digital frame up at our wedding but now I won't be able to put pics on it!!!
