How to install a font under Windows? Unzip the files you have downloaded. Details: Click on the "Download" button, save the zip somewhere on your hard disk, go to the place where it is saved, double-click on the zip to open it, then either click on "Extraxt all files" or drag and drop the files elsewhere from the zip window (hold down the CTRL key to select several files at once) You might need to install an unzip tool first. Under Windows Vista: Select the font files (.ttf, .otf or .fon) then Right-click > Install Under any version of Windows: Place the font files (.ttf, .otf or .fon) into the Fonts folder, usually C:WindowsFonts or C:WINNTFonts (can be reached as well by the Start Menu > Control Panel > Appearance and Themes > Fonts). Note that with the internal unzip tool of Windows (unlike Winzip), you cannot install a font by a simple drag and drop of the .ttf from the zip window to the Fonts window. You must first drag and drop it anywhere (for example on the desktop) then into the Fonts folder. You can also go through: File > Install a new font... in the Fonts folder menu then browse the fonts, instead of drag and drop the fonts into the window. Although this method is laborious, it would seem that it functions better in some cases. Tip: if you punctually need a font, you don't need to install it. Just double-click on the .ttf file, and while the preview window is opened you can use it in most of the programs you'll launch (apart from a few exceptions like OpenOffice). How to install a font under Mac OS? Mac OS X recognizes TrueType and OpenType fonts (.ttf and .otf) but not the PC bitmap fonts (.fon). Files are compressed, you may need an utility like Stuffit Expander. Under Mac OS X 10.3 or above (including the FontBook) : Double-click the font file > "Install font" button at the bottom of the preview. Under any version of Mac OS X: Put the files into /Library/Fonts (for all users), or into /Users/Your_username/Library/Fonts (for you only). Under Mac OS 9 or earlier: First, you have to convert the font files (.ttf or .otf) you have downloaded.Then drag the fonts suitcases into the System folder. The system will propose you to add them to the Fonts folder. Hope this helps you (note it's copied from dafont.com a great website to get fonts from) It's also on my blog

I could've used this yesterday. Seriously. My brother's computer has Vista, (Which I've never installed fonts on.) and I installed them the long way. I did it the way it tells you to on the windows help website. My Googling skills haz failed meh! PS. If you wanna see some of the fonts I've downloaded, refresh the page a few times. My signature is random everytime it loads up, and I've got about 8, I think... (Only a few have custom fonts...)

how do you make it do that? changing the sig thing This site. (http://sig.grumpybumpers.com/index.cgi) Just make an account, and paste all the image URLs you want, then put the given URL as your signature's image. http://sig.grumpybumpers.com/host/[USERNAME].gif That's the code to paste into your signature. (Change [USERNAME] to your username on the site.) As you can see, my brother TehMonkeyBlade has a rotating signature, too. My friend Zim1985 (On LBW) posted a tutorial before... (On LBW...)
