How to Install a Font on a PC

Instructions
1
Go to the Start Menu when using either
Windows XP or Windows Windows
95/98/2000 or NT4. Select the Control
Panel.
2
Select the "Appearance and Themes"
category in Windows XP. Select "Fonts"
from the "See Also" panel at the left of
this screen. In older versions of
Windows, double click the "Fonts"
folder.
3
Go to the "File" menu and click on
"Install New Fonts."
4
Browse to find the drive and folder that
hold your new fonts. If you downloaded
these online, go to the folder where
they were saved. If the fonts are sitting
on a CD, locate the proper CD drive to
upload the correct fonts from that CD.
5
Double-click the font file you wish to
install. Make sure you know the name of
the font. The actual font file will usually
be the exact name of the font, or
abbreviated versions. Select all versions
of the font to make sure you get the
italic, bold, condensed and other forms
of the font so you can fully use them.
6
Hold down the CTRL key to select and
install multiple fonts at one time. After
using the CTRL key to highlight the fonts
you want to install, click "OK."
Tips & Warnings
Make sure you are installing PC fonts onto a
PC folder. If you try to install Mac fonts
onto a PC, the computer will not recognize
them, and vice versa. Font files are
specifically formatted for Mac or PC.
