Fonts can set your documents or webpages apart, and allow you to express your style.
So why should you be limited to the fonts that came installed on your computer?
Set your work apart by downloading and installing fonts that match you and who
you are. Read on and learn how to install fonts.
Using Windows 7 and 8
Step 1:
Find
some fonts.
You can find fonts for purchase or for free at various sites online. There are
numerous sites that offer free, open-source fonts that don't require any
registration or extra programs. Some of the more popular sites include, dafont,
Google Fonts, Font Squirrel, 1001 Fonts, and fonts.com
Step 2:
Download
the font of your choice.
Make sure to download from a reputable location, as font files are a classic
virus-prone file. Most fonts will be downloaded in a ZIP format. Save the file
somewhere on your computer that will be easy to find, such as the desktop.
Step 3:
Extract
the font file.
The ZIP file should contain a single font file that can be installed on your
computer. Typical file formats include .ttf, .ttc, and .otf.
Step 4:
Open
C:\Windows\Fonts.
Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the Fonts folder in the Windows folder on
your hard drive. You should see a list of files for your already-installed
fonts.
Step 5:
Drag
the new font file into the Fonts folder. Dragging and dropping the font file into the Font
folder will automatically install the font. It will be available when you next
access your fonts in a program.
- You can also install fonts by double-clicking on the font file. The font installation wizard will start automatically.
