    This doesnt work for me.
    I think it may be the school computers, but i do not think so.
    When ever i "Drag it" or "Cut and paste it" it says "WINDOWN cannot overwrite this file, it is currently in use and cannot overwrite, please let WINDOWS finish using the file and try again."
    Help me please! Ive been asking for a lot of my friends' help...Well...Yeah! :censored:

    You tried to install them at school? First of all you're not allowed to and secondly you can't really.

    Try using The font thing or something. If that doesn't work, then make sure you aren't using photoshop or anything of the sort that uses fonts...

    All you do is unzip the font with winrar then go to file -> copy file to clipboard, go onto my computer then in the address tab put C:\WINDOWS\Fonts then paste the font there. simple :P

    many school computers are set up to prevent u from writing stuff into important folders, especially folders like C:/windows hopefully that answers your question

    Alright, yes, i can download new fonts, ive been to the computer administrator, and he says its perfectly fine, there is not protection-program.
    Second of all, i have photoshop at school, i dont at home. And using the preloaded fonts..Well, its nice to have some variety. Maybe if i was more experiienced, but im a noob banner maker, so, thats that.
    I left out anonther peice of important information: Same thing happens at home too.

    There is another way, instead of dragging, open the fonts folder and goto File>Install New Font then a box will come up just browse for the folder it is in, and in the box it'll come up with the fonts in that folder you provided, then click ok

    If that makes sense :P

    Or you can just unzip the fonts to your documents and open (double click on the file) the ones up you need to use before you load up photoshop.
