Of course, you are talking about a PC and you got True Type Fonts.
If they are in Zip Files, then UNZIP them. Then go to your Control Panel and go to the FONT section. Use the button to ADD FONTS.
But let me warn you. DO NOT over-write the existing fonts. Some of these are system fonts, and you will wreck everything. DO NOT install font that you do not use. It will be a real hassle for you to have a list of fonts a MILE LONG. DO NOT uninstall your system fonts. There are a whole bunch, so get used to what you see now, and don't touch them. Remove fonts that you added, so you don't see these fonts when you are totally done with them.
If you share a document with someone that has one of your fonts in it, be sure to provide the FONT also.
Font management is a rather large pain. I recommend that you try to stick with what Bill Gates gave you. But if you do, be sure to keep track of what you added. Good luck

Easy.
Go to start > settings > control panel.
Then choose (double click) fonts from the box that pops up.
Then go to File > Install New Font
Browse to the folder where your download fonts are. Select the lot and click OK.
Enjoy!

Usually when you download fonts they will go wherever they can be accessed. If you open program that has fonts, like Word, etc. then you should see the fonts you downloaded in the list.
Hope that helps.
p.s. When you download them choose "run."

If they are in an archive, extract them. Then put the files is the Windows/Fonts directory.
