.TTF files

[Hijrah]

I downloaded a whole bunch of ttf fonts but they don't work because I don't have TTF extension on my computer...does anyone know where i can get this...

:sl:

[lolwatever]

go to control panel, then 'fonts folder' and drag those ttf files into the fonts folder

restart your comptuer.

n the fonts should be now available to use :)

press the 'printscrn' button on ur keyboard, then open up microsoft paint (click 'Start' then 'Run' then type in 'mspaint' and hit enter),

then click on 'Edit' up th etop, then 'Paste' and save the file as jpeg... and upload it to www.imageshack.us n giv us the link they give you.

u dont have to restart or anything

Place all the TTf files in a folder
Hightlight them ALL
Right click on them and select "CUT"
(note not copy but cut)

Then open the location in another window:
C:\windows\fonts

PASTE the files into there - it will install them all one by one
and thats all really.

Now whicever application you wanted to use it in, when u restart that application the fonts will be listed.

This method is for NT, XP onwards

^ salams bro, yes normally you don't have to restart, but in the case where you have applications open... they won't pickup the newly installed fonts till the applications are restarted.... so its better to just restart the machine... rather than telling him 2 close down eveyr prog n re-running it :D

*coz some programs remain in background and literally need the OS to be restarted to pickup new fonts..*

[akulion]

well usually one installs an application for a particular use

In my case its usually for Adobe Photoshop or Flash.

And if I have either running, its easier for me to restart those programs than the whole pc, so good thing to know just in case
