Greater Cleveland Chapter One
PC / Windows Font Installation Instructions

Detailed Directions:

1) Begin by downloading the zipped font file(s) to a folder.
2) Unzip the font file contents using a program such as Win Zip or Stuff It. Win Zip is the industry standard and used frequently by PC/Windows users. Stuff It is more common with Mac users, but can be used on PC/Windows computers as well.
3) Go to the Windows 95/98/NT/ME/XP desktop. Double-click on "My Computer." The "My Computer" window will open.
4) Double-click on "Control Panel." The "Control Panel" window will open.
5) Double-click on "Fonts." The "Fonts" window will open showing you the installed fonts on your computer.
6) Click on "File" and when the pop-down window appears select "Install New Fonts."
7) The "Add Fonts" window will open. There will be a white text box labeled "Folders."
8) Navigate inside the "Folders" list box (by double-clicking on the c:\) until you find the folder into which you unzipped the font file(s).
9) After the fonts are loaded, they will be shown in the white text box labeled "List of Fonts". You can scroll through the "List of Fonts" list box and select the font you want to install. You can click on one font, or select more then one by holding down the control key as you are clicking on each font, or by clicking on the first font, holding down the shift key and clicking on the last font you want installed. You can also click on the "Select All" button. Note: If you try to install fonts which are already installed, you will be presented with a warning window telling you that you cannot install the font unless you first un-install it. This is a harmless warning which allows you to continue with the other fonts by simply pressing the "OK" button.
10) After the font(s) is selected (it will be highlighted), press the "OK" button. The font(s) will then be installed.
11) When you are done, press the close "X" button on the top right corner of the window. You will be returned to the "Fonts" window, and the font you've just installed will be included there.
12) You can now close the "Fonts" window, close the "Control Panel", and close the "My Computer" window. The new font(s) may now be selected within any text program.

Quick Directions For Those Who Know Their Way Around Their Hard Drive:

1) Begin by downloading the zipped font file(s) to a folder.
2) Unzip the font file(s) contents using a program such as Win Zip or Stuff It. (Windows XP will allow you to double click, open, and drag files from a zipped folder without needing Win Zip.)
3) Highlight or select the unzipped font file(s) and drag them to your fonts folder. By default, your system places the fonts folder in the windows folder. (C:/Windows/Fonts/)
4) Close all windows. The new font(s) may now be selected within any text program.
