dafont
okay, so dafont.com is working fine for me, but i have to write in my font in the font box first, before it is included with the rest of my fonts(where times new roman, ariel, comic sands, etc is) and sometimes after i download the font, nothing works to get the font! i type it in many different times, but still does not work! does anyone know where the EXACT lettering would be that tells you exactly what it would be, typed in the spot that shows you what your font is. thanks

There is a much easier way to use fonts girls.
First and foremost keep them in their own
folder. If you are a fontaholic (as I am!)
having to many fonts in your windows folder
will eventually slow your computer way down
or cause a crash.
Here is a step by step that I use.
First make a folder for your fonts.
Mine is under my computer>C:drive> Folder named fonts.
Then go to dafonts (or other free font site of your choice)
Click on download for font you want.
You will get the silver box for zipped files.
I use firefox and my box is marked "open with
compressed folder (default). Click OK
when download is complete you get a window with your zipped file in it. Go to "file" and click
"extract all". You should then get the "extraction
wizard".
Click next
Go to "browse" on the line that tells the wizard where you want the fonts to go. Go to my computer>
c:drive>click your fonts folder. Mine shows up in the box now as C:Fonts. Click next and then finish.
Your font folder will pop up showing your new font is there.
Now using them is simple. I use mine in Paint shop pro mostly but I do believe this works anywhere.
I made a shortcut of my font folder to my desktop.
When I am using PSP I just open my font folder.
Click on the font I want to use. A window pops open that shows me what the font looks like.
I lower this window (don't close it just lower it). I go to fonts on my paint shop and there it is! Use it with no hassle. :)
When you are done with that one just close the window. It goes back to your font folder and no longer shows up on your paint shop or whatever program you are using it with. You can download hundreds and thousands of fonts for your folder.
Just open them use them and put them away. :)
Hope this works for you and wasn't to complicated.
It honestly isn't once you have done it a couple of times you will be an expert! :)

i'm not quite sure if i understand this question but when i download a font and the little box comes up, i click save and then save the folder to my desktop. then i open it up and click "Extract all Files" and keep hitting next until its extracted. then i go to the Start button at the bottom of my computer [ i have an emachines ] and click Run.. and i type in fonts. then all my fonts appear. i go and put the extracted folder next to the fonts folder and drag the EXTRACTED FONT into the folder. than its with all my other fonts :] i hope this is what you were looking for!
