Make yourself a font folder in my documents. If you aren't adding a whole lot of them (adding a bunch will slow your computer way down), then next go to....

My computer. Click on c drive. Go to the folder that says windows and open it.

Now go to fonts and open it. Go up to file on the open fonts page. Click on install new font.

Then in the box that pops up you need to go to....

documents and settings

then hp owner

then my documents

find your fonts file

click on your font and it will show up in box at top of page.

click select all

then click OK.

Your font will now be in all places you use them. :)

Any problems with it feel free to drop a note in my inbox. I will help you figure it out.

Try saving the font you want again, then before you save it select a folder your familiar with or select desktop then hit save. That way it will be easier to find. ♥

I'm not much for computers but if you are sure that you saved it in the correct folder I would double check that you have extracted the file. All fonts I've ever downloaded have been in zip files and need to be extracted before you can load them.

Just my two cents.

well check right at the beginning of your font list and right at the end because sometimes computers don't put new fonts into alphebetacal (sp?) order.
