Installing Fonts in Windows XP, Vista or 98′

Posted on March 25th, 2008 by Kim

Here’s How:

Windows XP or 98:

  1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel.
  2. Double-click on the Fonts folder.
  3. Choose File > Install New Font.
  4. In the Folders menu, navigate to the folder containing the fonts that you wish to install. A list of available fonts will appear in the List of Fonts window.
  5. Click on the font you wish to install or use the “Select All” button to install all fonts in the List of Fonts.
  6. Click on OK.
  7. Video tutorial #1 click here. 
  8. Video tutorial #2 click here.

If you have Windows Vista it’s a tad easier:

  1. You can just expand the zipped font file onto your desktop.
  2. Right click the file.
  3. Click “install”.
  4. Then you can delete the file off of your desktop.

Then you can go back to Photoshop and the font should be listed.

If you have any problems with these procedures, please contact me or add a comment below.

    Awesome tutorials. I’ve got three books and haven’t been able to figure out the layering techniques. One of your tutorials and I was off and creating. Thanks.
