So you need some Help Installing Fonts

* Note this tutorial is for those using Windows 2000 and XP. I have heard people are having problems installing in Windows Vista, but I don't have that OS so I cannot try it out.

Step 1 Create a folder where you want to put your fonts. I like to download the fonts to my desktop in a folder called fonts. Right Click your desktop and select New > Folder. Name the folder Fonts.


Step 2 Find the font that you want to download. If you need some help finding font websites you can check out my Font Bio or you can Google 'Free Fonts', or the name of the font you are looking for. Download the font you want and click Save.


Step 3 Select the location of your Fonts folder and click Save.


Step 4 Open the fonts folder you created on the desktop and unzip the file. Select the xxx.ttf file and hit Ctrl + C.


Step 5 Go to the Fonts Folder: My computer > C Drive > WINDOWS folder > Fonts folder.

Double-Click the My Computer icon.


Double-Click on the Local Disk drive, usually the C drive.


Double-Click on the WINDOWS folder.


Double-Click on the Fonts folder.



Step 5 In the Fonts folder, click Ctrl + V. This will paste the font file into the fonts folder. Click on the X in the right hand corner to close the Window.


Step 6 You must re-boot your computer to use your new font.

Your Font should now be installed and ready to use.

Hi BriannaNichole,

I just wanted to let you know that I found your blog through theknot.com and I've read through all your posts. There is some really great stuff here! You've given me some important tips and inspiration - like the wonderful world of photoshop brushes and how to create a nice interwoven monogram. Thank you!

I've been reading your blog for a while (as well as checking out the bios), but finally decided to attempt something on my own.

I just followed your instructions and it was a snap! I'm not exactly computer literate, but thanks to you I already have 6 new fonts (plus dings!). Thank you so much for all your tips! Keep them coming!

Hi BriannaNichole-

Thank you for all your tutorials and websites referrals. I do have a couple of questions about the dings from House of Lime. How do do you install the dings in SIT file format? What software do I need for those dings?
