How to Install Fonts

You've downloaded the fonts, now here's how to install them.


Windows XP (and previous version)

Unzip the downloaded font file and extract all the font files to a directory. Now, drag the font files from that directory to C:\Windows\Fonts. Alternatively, you can go into the Fonts control panel (click Start->Control Panel->Fonts) and select File->Install Fonts. This will pop open a new window where you can browse to your extracted font files and install them.

Windows Vista

Right click on each font file and select Install

Specific Font Sizes (Pixels, Points)

Certain fonts, such as bitmap or pixel fonts, are best viewed at a specific size.

Also, be sure to turn off anti-aliasing in any software you are using.

Both pixels (px) and point (pt) sizes are listed here on FontSpace. 

To convert from pixel to point:
px * .75 = pt (example: 8px is equivalent to 6pt)

To convert from point to pixel:
pt / .75 = px (example: 6pt is equivalent to 8px)
