How to Install Fonts

When installing fonts the first thing is to save them somewhere (I normally prefer a memory key as it’s easy to find when you get to the install step) however it’s also fine to just save it to your desktop if you have received it by email.

Once you have your font saved you need to do the following:

Windows XP/2000

  • Click Start, and then click Run.
  • Type %windir%\fonts, and then click OK:
  • On the File menu, click Install New Font.
  • In the Drives box, click the drive that contains the font that you want to add.
  • In the Folders box, click the folder that contains the font that you want to add, and then click OK.
  • In the List of fonts box, click the font that you want to add. To select more than one font at a time, press and hold the CTRL key while you select each font.
  • Click to select the Copy Fonts To Fonts Folder check box. The new font is saved in the Windows\Fonts folder.
  • Click OK.

Windows Vista/Windows 7

  • Right-click the font you want to install and click Install.
