Okay, so I d/l fonts, unzip them, yadda yadda now they're in the .ttf format. However, when I try installing them, this little msg comes up: "BLAHBLAH FONTFILE.TTF is currently being used and cannot be replace.d Wait until Windows is finished using the file, and then try again"
Okay...WTF? This happens all the time now. I'm on a limited account on Windows XP [argh, cuz of my dad] but does that have to do anything with this? Help, please? |

Try again tomorrow? actually i don't know what a .tff file is but maybe you unziped them wrong? What i just do is take winzip and extract them to my desktop and then go to C:>windows>fonts and drag em in

what do u mean by "installing them"? just cut and paste it into C:/windows/fonts, and you're good to go....
it could be the limited account....but i dunno why it wouldnt allow the privilege in adding fonts...no harm in that. |

After I unzip them, I try dragging them to the font folder. But then that error msg pops up, and it annoys me. Blick.
