Tutorial: How to install fonts on Windows, the Mac and Linux.
Installing Fonts on Windows Vista/7
- Select the font(s) you extracted to a directory and Right-Click these with the mouse.
- Select Install.
Installing Fonts on Windows XP (and below)
- Copy & Paste the fonts into the Fonts Folder, usually C:\Windows\Fonts.
- Note: If you just extract the fonts into the Fonts Folder directly, they won't install correctly. You must extract them somewhere else first then copy & paste them over.
Installing Fonts on Mac OS X
- Place the font files into /Library/Fonts (for all users) or into /Users/Your_username/Library/Fonts (for you only).
- Note: If you have Font Book installed, you can also double-click the font file to quickly install that font.
Installing Fonts on OS 9 and Below
- Open up the Hard Disk.
- Open up the System Folder.
- Open up the Fonts Folder.
- Now highlight and drag the screen font (suitcase with A on it) and the printer font (not the .AFM file) into the FONTS folder.
Installing Fonts on Linux
- Simply copy the font files to fonts:/// using the File manager.
