INSTALLING
FONTS IN YOUR COMPUTER

How to install
the fonts in your computer (PC):
As a reminder, the fonts work on PCs and MACs. After downloading the zip file(s)
use a zip utility such as winzip to unzip the file(s). Then, click on the
'Start' button:
Then, go to 'Settings', then 'Control Panel' and double click on 'Fonts'. Now,
choose 'File' and 'Install New Font'. Finally, remember where you unzipped the
font(s) and go to that directory. Select the font(s) and choose 'OK'.
Note: The whole procedure might seem long and hard but after the first few
times, you'll get used to it.
How to install
the fonts in your computer (Mac):
You need to download the PC to Mac Font Converter (CLICK
HERE TO DOWNLOAD IT) Then download the PC fonts you wish to use. Note
that most fonts are in ".zip" compressed format when you download them. They
will need to be decompressed before conversion, using either ZipIt 1.3.8 or
Stuffit Expander. They can be downloaded from http://www.macdownload.com and
many Mac shareware sites. After you have them decompressed, open the PC font(s)
in the converter and change them to Mac fonts. Once done, install them in your
Mac's system by doing the following:
First, double-click the startup disk to open it (the startup disk icon is
usually in the top-right corner of the desktop.) If your system has more than
one disk, open the disk that contains the active System Folder. This is called
the Startup Disk. Second, drag the font you want to install to your closed
'System Folder' icon (not to an open 'System Folder' window). You will most
likely get a message box that asks if you want to put the font in the 'Fonts'
Folder, just click okay. Then you will get a message that says this font will
not be available to currently running applications until they have quit.
Finally, click okay and you're done. This will place the font in the 'Fonts'
folder where it belongs.
