To install fonts, you must:
-Use a tool like 7-zip ( [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) ) to extract the files from the zip or rar file.
-Move the TTF file to C:\Windows\Fonts

FAQ:
-Q-
How do I move the TTF file to C:\Windows\Fonts
-A-
Right click the TTF file. Its icon looks like two stylized "T"s. Select "copy". Go to C:\Windows\Fonts. In the menu go to edit -> paste.
-Q-
When I try to open C:\Windows, I get a warning about system files. What should I do?
-A-
You can go ahead and enter C:\Windows. As long as you don't *delete* anything in there, there is no way for you to mess anything up.
-Q-
I opened C:, but I can't find the WINDOWS folder.
-A-
Try your other drives, such as D: and E:. WINDOWS will be in one of them. If not, look below (alternative methods).
