Drag the ttf font file into C:windowsfonts. The font will then be in the list of fonts for every program. You can use the GIMP( [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) ), photoshop, or any other image manipulation program to put text on pictures.

Well, once you download fonts, you have to place them in the correct directory on your computer. I don't remember what the folder for Windows is, but if you search for a folder called "Fonts", you'll find it. On MacOSX, it's Library/Fonts.
Basically, all you have to do is drag and drop the fonts into the folder, and they'll install and be available to use in graphics editors and word processors. (On Windows there /may/ be an extra step--I seem to recall an installation menu--but I don't know if that still exists in Vista and XP, since my last experience installing fonts was with 98. Pretty sure you're fine with drag-and-drop, though.)
You'll need a program like Paint or The Gimp ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)) in order to put the type on pictures--there'll be a little tool represented by a T sign, usually. So you click on that and then on the picture where you want the text to show up, and type away. Then all you have to do is save it as a .jpg, .gif, or .png, and then that should do it.
Hope this helps you! It's a little bit tricky at first, but easy to get used to once you do it a couple times.

You download those fonts for programs like Paintshop, Photoshop and such. You can use it on Paint.. but it won't turn out exactly like it would on other programs. If you want to get Paintshop or Photoshop, you can download a 30 day free trial.
