Adding fonts!

[Scarlett]

I would like to add some groovy fonts to my PC but can't find any instructions that actually work with Windows XP. Any ideas?
Thanks

Where are the fonts currently?
Installing fonts under XP is exactly the same as it was under 95,98 and even Windows 3! (In fact, even Vista uses the same 16 bit applet to install fonts)

Open the control panel
Double-click on Fonts
Click File/Install New font
Navigate to the folder where the fonts are
Put a tick in Copy to Fonts folder
Click the Select All Button
Click OK

"Navigate to the folder where the fonts are "

Bit ambiguous that - what I means is, navigate to the fiolder which contains the fonts that you want to install (presumably you've got them on a CD or have downloaded them from the web)

that's the problem! I added one to a new folder I made, from the web. But when I try and navigate to it using the above steps, there is nothing in it. When I click on it it appears empty.

What is/are the name/s of the file/s that you downloaded and place in the folder?

Hi Scarlett . . .

This is where I get my Free True Type Fonts from.

Everything is fully explained when you open the website.

Good luck

Okay! I have worked it out. But it was more complicated than the website made it out to be! I had to click on the file of the font, open it, find the bit that was actually the font itself, then slide that over to the control panel bit. So even though the fonts were added to a folder, you have to open them and manually move them across for the computer to find and open them. Difficult to explain but it wasn't easy. Thanks for your helps!
