I have just downloaded a Font to my p.c. but cannot find it anywhere on my p.c.
Does anybody know where I should look in my p.c. to try and locate this font ?
Any help would be really appreciated.

Go to Start > Search and enter the font name (or just part of it).
When you locate the file, look at its extension. If it's 'ttf' you can simply put the file straight into your Fonts folder and it will become available to all relevant programs. If it's 'zip' you'll need to double-click on it first, to extract the compressed ttf file, and then transfer that file to your Fonts folder.

If it was a free download, just go through the process again. When you get to the bit where you're presented with a dialogue box asking you to choose where the file should be saved to, see where the current default location is. That's where your original download should be.
At that point you can either abort the second download or continue with it (but carefully selecting a better location for the download). Font files are so small that you needn't be worried about have two identical files taking up disk space.
If you choose to download again and (unusually) its a 'ttf' file, you can put it straight into your Fonts folder (which should be a sub-folder within your main Windows folder).
If (as is more likely) it's a 'zip' file, select your Desktop as the download location. (It's hard to lose it there!). Double-click on the file and extract it to your Fonts folder (or extract it to the Desktop and then move it to your Fonts folder). You can then delete the zip file.
