Directions for Downloading a font
How do I download a font?

2. Pick a font you want to download and click Download/ pc/ mac OS X (IN picture)

3. Click open then Extract all files (In pictures)


4. Follow the "Win Zip" instructions
5. Click Start at the bottom of your computer screen
6. Click control panel (A link in your start menu)
7. Click "appearances and themes"
8. Click fonts (on the left hand side bar)
9. Click your extracted file (otherwise known as a font) and drop it into the "font" folder
10. You have now successfully downloaded a font!
Or

• Go to your Fonts folder (either by going to Control Panel/Fonts or by going to C:\Windows\Fonts) and then using File then Install New Font.
• Navigate to where you unzipped the font. Then select the font(s) [you can use Select All] and click OK.
• Alternately, you can move the font directly into the Fonts folder by copying and pasting. I find I have problems sometimes with it installing correctly sometimes, however. So normally I do the "install font".

Then use whatever program you want to make your design in and select the font from your options.
