Waltograph

[PrincessBelle39]

Can anyone help me? I have downloaded the font 'Waltograph' but not sure how to run it on my computer to use it? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I think it depends on what program you use. For mine (XP) I do this:

Controll Panel
Switch to Classic View
Fonts
File
Insert New Font

Make sure your font is unzipped first.

Hope that helps.

Thank you #1 Pocahontas. I use Vista but it worked fine. I really wanted to use it tonight. The mums from playgroup (there are only 4 of us) have just started having a craft night every Wednesday. Now I can write away with this.

I have asked this before but can not find the posting where some one responded. For those of us who are zip file challenged - how do i unzip the waltograph font files to load them into my fonts folder. Once that zip file screen comes on, i have no clue what to do - tired of trying and not succeeding, although it is probably very easy. I use Windows XP. Thanks so much!!!

Caroline this is what I do in Vista. I generally download to my desktop, then find the folder and right click on it. Choose extract all, and make sure show files when complete is clicked. After it extracts, you right click on the font file (it's generally a ttf), and choose "Install." Voila! It's installed

Yep, that is exactly what I do, pretty easy.

my choices on Windows XP are:
extract files
extract here
extract to Waltograph
those are the only extract possibilities offered.

Help! Is it possible that Windows XP is different than Vista?

As long as it gets extracted it can be installed.

Once you extract it, go to Control Panel and then to Fonts. From there, you go to File, Install New Font, then you navigate to the folder where you extracted. It will list the files that are fonts and then you select that font and click install.

Thank you for your patience!!! It worked! Wow, there are things that clearly take me longer to absorb, this was definitely one of them.
