Good Morning All,

I do not know why I cannot do this, but, I seem to be totally thick in the head as far as following the instructions for downloading fonts. explode

I run Windows XP, I have downloaded fonts in my "Local Disk: C" as well as "My Docoments", but, I cannot get them into my "Word Perfect" or "Microsoft Word". What I am I doing wrong????? nutty

I thought I was fairly computer savvy, apparrently not as much as I thought. ") blush

Welcome to the Village BPatti... I am sure someone will help you today (sorry I don't know anything about that). Hope you join us for chat and posting in the museum.

Good morning and welcome! lachen

You're almost there...you just need to move the TrueType file (.ttf) into your Fonts folder. Here's one way to do it:

- find the font file you downloaded and copy it (right-click and select copy)
- go to Start >> Control Panel >> Fonts
- the fonts on your computer will appear...paste the font file here (right-click on the screen and select paste)

Your font should be ready to go the next time you open Word. Give it a try and let us know how it goes!

I have Windows Vista and the word processor is called Microsoft Works and it will not allow me to download any fonts. Does anyone have any tricks for me so I can download some of the fonts? I'm desperate.

I played around and figured it out. It also helped after a read a few other posts by people with Windows Vista. Thanks!
