How to download fonts

1) Go to a webstie/blog that has free fonts (or you can pay, but I'm sure you would rather have free fonts) such as:

Font Parade

Font Space

Free Fonts

1001 Free Fonts

TypeNow

Personally TypeNow, and 1001 free fonts are my favorite -- really easy to work with. So, let's go to 1001 Free Fonts.

2) Type down what type of font you're look for OR what the font's name is that you're looking for in the search. Or if you're not looking for a font, simply click the options the site should give you... like, I'm looking for a handwriting font...

4) Keep looking, and when you've found the font you want, there should be a "Download" thing somewhere. Click that.
though, some others are more like this:


6) Something will pop up, and just click "SAVE"

Make sure you know where you're saving it because you're gonna have to back to it.
Once it's saved, go back to where you saved it....and it should look something like this (with the zipper on the file, and the fonts name below):

Right click that file, and click "Extract All" (or yours might be Unzip or something like that)
Something else will pop up, and just click "Extract" or whatever yours was


ANOTHER thing will pop up... You should see something that has two T's on it... if yours doesn't have that, it should have SOMETHING like that. Well, right click that box and click "COPY
12) Now, go to "My computer" or "computer" or whatever yours is, and click the C drive one (that's the drive of the computer)

 Click "Windows" ..... Then "Fonts"

15) And paste (by pressing "CTRL V" on your keyboard) the picture you copied. Something else might pop up, but just press continue :)
16) Press the little red button on the right hand corner and enjoy your new font!!
If there any problems please, please let me know and I'll try my best to help you. And... please tell me if you have used this tutorial.
