    It's been asked before but I still can't work out how I can use the fonts I download.
    Can someone guide me from start to finish to install the fonts please such as what you would do so you can use the font when designing something.

    Really want to make my designs better but I need to sue much better fonts.

    Any help would be great ^_^

    Hope what I said was clear.

    If you're using XP, here it is:

    Control Panel --> Appearance and Themes --> Fonts in your menu --> File --> Install New Font..

    after you download a font, save it somewhere if it is a zipped folder(my documents is where i save it)...and then open the zipped folder and un-zip it to, C:/ > Windows > Fonts.....


    it should automaticly show up under your fonts in PS..


    hope i helped

    if the file/font is password protected then there is a password that you must've encrypted in there or something b/c fonts from dafont are not password protected...all the above will work once u extract the fonts

    You have to install it manually, copy and paste won't do anything. Of course you have to copy it to your Document first in order to find it on your Install new Fonts list..

    I searched through other posts but they didn't have the same problem as me.
