un-zipping fonts? Options

[RandomHero]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this (so sorry if it is!!) Ok, i just downloaded a font, how do i use it? It says i have to extract all the un-zipped files. I am so confused! Can someone help a girl out?

M'kay.
What system are you running?
For XP, you can just click the 'extract all files' option in the left-side bar.
If not....
Download Winzip and unzip your files.

Ya i have XP & i clicked on where it said "extract all files" and i followed the instructions, but it never started un-zipping the file. Should i just download Winzip then? If so, where do i go to download it?

[C.Lime.Jello.]

Huh?
It didn't unzip your files?
Mmm.... Did you make a new folder for your fonts and select that as where they'll go to when your fonts are unzipped?
Sometimes it doesn't work if you tell it to unzip into the same folder.

Oh...hmm. So i make a new folder in My Documents & right click on that folder & choose to where it goes when its done downloading? Btw, thank you for helping me.

Mh? You're welcome.
But, like, when it's unzipping them it doesn't ask you where you want them to go?
'cause you should choose another folder when it asks if possible.
The temp files isn't a very good place to put your fonts.
(Make your file something easy to remember, EX :: Fonts)
(That's what mine is called. ^_^)

Ok i told it to put it into a new folder called "fonts". But it STILL hasn't started extracting the files..

M'kay. Dunno what to do if WinZip doesn't extract it.

[RandomHero]

Thanx for all your help!

[C.Lime.Jello.]

Glad to help.
Even if I'm not quite as helpful as I like to be.
(My comp can be screwy sometimes.)
(Funny that something works for me, but not for somebody else.)

Download Winzip or use XP built-in winzip.

Then moved the file in the winzip to your C:\Windows\fonts

and it should say "install??" choose yes and it should be installed.
