i was in the same boat you are currently in, about 48 hours ago. i'll try to make it as easy as i can for you. this is how i do it, it might be different for different computers.
- on your computer go to the "my computer folder" and click on the "control pannel option". from there you should click on the "fonts" folder. If you dont see the folder, you might have to click on the " Switch to classic view" link on the left hand side. Then the fonts folder should be there. Leave that window open! You should see lots of file looking objets in it already!
- now go online and find the font you want to use. click on it to download it and a window should come up asking if you want to open, save or cancel. Click open. Another window will come up with that file showing up. To the left there should should be something like "extract all files"- click that.
- It should bring up yet another window: something like a compressed folders exraction wizard (or something like that). hit next. hit next again, it doesnt really matter where it saves to. and then hit finish.
- another window will pop open with the file and it should be named- the type of font you chose. now click on that once, and drag it into your "fonts" folder you originally opened. It should say "installing ____ font" or something. after that window is gone, you should be finished. Look in a word application to see if your font is there.
that is exactly what i did... i hope it works for you. if not, i can try to be a little more clear if you would like. you can always PM me too if you want additional help. im ALWAYS on the disboards! haha.
GOOD LUCK
Thanks so much for the step-by-step.
