To install a TrueType font:

1. Press the Start button and select Control Panel which is usually located in the Settings section.

2. Run the Fonts applet by double clicking the Fonts icon.

3. The Fonts applet will display a list of all the fonts already installed. Select Install New Font... from the File menu.

4. In the Add Fonts dialog box, select the drive and directory where the new font to be added is stored (i.e. for fonts on diskette, change the drive letter to a:). For fonts stored elsewhere on the network, select the Network... button. Once you have selected the appropriate directory the available fonts will be listed and the required fonts can be selected. Individual fonts may be selected by holding down the Control key (CTRL) whilst clicking and all fonts may be selected by clicking the Select All button.

Ensure the Copy fonts to Fonts folder is checked so that the fonts are correctly installed on the computer.

5. Click on the OK button.

6. Close the Fonts folder.

7. Close the Control Panel folder.

Once the font is installed it is ready for use in any application that supports TrueType fonts.
