    easy. unzip them and drop them in your Fonts folder under your Control Panel, restart each program and you're set.

    I have a few thousand fonts in mine.

    There is no way to download fonts into photoshop or dreamweaver. You need to copy them in to Fonts Folder in Control Panel. Download required fonts on to your desktop. Unzip, goto Start >> Settings >> Navigate to Control Panel and click. Copy all downloaded fonts and paste them in to font folder. You can access and use all these fronts from any software that are existing on your computer.:)

    Click on Start button. Navigate to Settings (just below Documents). Click on Control Panel from popup menu and look for Fonts folder in Control Panel or Navigate to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts

    hi,

    just go to start-control panel-fonts(change to classic view, and u can see font folder) - the font you download u must unzip first and save in C drive at windows or system - and then install ur font..

    gud luck..

    C:\WINDOWS\Fonts Doesn't work for me. Do the control panel one.
