 Unzip them into your windows font folder, close your program, and open it again. . .

Works for me everytime in PSP.

:yes:

Though I could swear I've had to reboot to get newly installed fonts to work in some programs for some reason. :unsure:

 In XP you'll have to actually install the fonts, copying them to the fonts folder isn't enough (smart move Bill Gates <_< )

The fastest way (that I know of anyway) if you've got more fonts is to unzip/save them into one folder, then go to the windows/fonts folder. Choose File > Install New Font... (you'll HAVE to be in the fonts folder for this to work), browse to the folder with your fonts and choose 'select all' and 'OK'

 yup, but some fonts don't seem to work right with other programs like PSP... installing them this way will fix that ;)

but of course if you don't have that problem there's no need to do it the complicated way ;)

 That also works for me just fine. I copy to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\ and I drag the font in and it installs. Edit: And I have PSP. And the font appears instantly. And in SothinkSWFquicker. No reboot.

 I guess my XP is just very weird then, I could never get my fonts to install before... or maybe it was because I unzipped them directly into the fonts folder?
I almost always had to fix new fonts with my font-manager (X-fonter) before, but since I started installing them this way I never had any problems *shrugs*

I gave up trying to understand windows a long time ago anyway...
