okay i want to download a font to use in my layout. i got the download part down but the whole "zipping" concept is lost on me. i have windows xp (someone said that mattered) and i have winzip. whad do i gotta do? any help is appreciated

first i think that this topic has to be in web design chat
secondly u know to right click and extract all then drag it in ur font folder!!
then u have a knew font!

for me.. i have an eazier way.. and simple.. well for me that is...

1. Download ur font.
2. Ur font should be Fontname.ttf
3. open your font folder it should be located in control panel-->> font folder if not.. go to search--->> type font -->> then double click font folder
4. Make your winzipe with the fontname.ttf on left or right.. and put ur font folder somewhere else...
5. Click and hold the fontname.ttf and drag it to your font folder and let go.. then it says intiliazing font.. similiar to that.. now u got a new font installed in ur computer...

Download Winzip at http://www.winzip.com (if you haven't already). After you've downloaded the font, Winzip should automatically come up (if it doesn't, simply go to your desktop and double click the Winzip icon), keep pressing next and unzip. After you have zipped it, go to Control Panel > Fonts and drag your zipped font into the Fonts Folder.

Voila!
