How to install the fonts...

[Ntrik_]

sigh i know, 'install' isnt proper use up there... but i forget which word to use....

Anyways, i have like bunch of fonts (d2, matrix, sc, bunch more...). However, from my old comp (windows 98 2nd edition) all i had to do was copy the font files to:

C:\windows\fonts

But now... my new comp (win xp), if i do that, fonts wont show up... :scary

If anyone knows the solution to this, i will be grateful...

DO you need it for wordpad or like msn? btw it only works if the other person has the fonts to...

Ok N_LeGeNd) somethings wrong with your winXP office or MSOffice 2000 (what you're using) because i made it not with matrix,d2 etc but it did work.Maybe anohter problem are the fonts themselves.The Word/WordlPad cant accept the new fonts

You could always go to the "install new fonts" option (click file when you're in the fonts folder)

You must have installed it already...

well, they work now, but b4, i jus extracted font files right away into font folder in windows/fonts... so mebbe that didnt install the fonts? When i copied and pasted, it installed. And since ive extracted some fonts, when i tried pasting those fonts again (overlapping was which iwas hoping to do) it said cannot do it, cuz theres same file. Delete it and install again.... so thats why i deleted fonts and installed all over again.........
