click download then save it somewhere then open up WinZip and click on open and find where u saved the font and click 'ok' then right click on it in the WinZip window and go to 'extract' and then choose extract to Local Disk C then go to WINNT then choose fonts ort something similar to that, hope that helps

Yep, what ^^ said.
Download the font and then find it. And then take winzip or winrar or whatever winzipping program u use. then do extract (or something like that) and extract to your desktop or something. And then find the file of your fonts (probably C: windows> fonts, or something) take the extracted file on your desktop and drag it into the font folder. or, well, that's how i do it. |

Well what I do is just double click on the zipped folder and drag it to my desktop. Then I drag it to my fonts folder.

Well, she might not have a fonts folder on her desktop. If your running windows XP. Then: Unzip to Desktop > Cut > Control Panel > Fonts > Paste.

Ok..
Well your fonts file should be on your desktop(well mine is) and if it is, the icon with the to T's on, drag that on to your desktop, above the fonts file. Then you should see it on your font list. <EDIT>http://www.winzip.com |
