Download the font you want.
Place it in your font folder, which is most likely C:\WINDOWS\fonts.

Alternatively if you cannot locate, follow this:

1. Copy the font.
2. Go to your control panel, click on the font folder. Once opened, paste and it will be installed.

I don't know if that's what you meant Cow, sorry if it was.

Ah, that works also. Probably a better way of doing it. I prefer to stay away from the Control Panel, as it irritates me. So I do things the hard way.

I hear you.

I was starting up my computer once and (with the RAM issue) and I get into the control panel to get at my system options and the thing shuts off.

Yes, there is various sites which allow you to download them, and then install them yourself.

What you have to do is, download the font, open Control Panel, click on fonts, and drag across the font. Simple

The best font site out now is: http://www.acidfonts.com/
