Answer 1

First go to http://www.winzip.com. Download their WinZip program and install it and go to where ever u downloaded the Zipped up font file, double-click it to open it, make a folder on your C:\ drive or where you think it'll be easily located open that folder and drag the font file thats in the zip file into that folder. Now double-click "My Computer" the C: drive then open WINNT (might be WINDOWS for XP Home), scroll down until you see a "Fonts" folder open it by double-clicking it, once in the folder click File > Install New Font... now just navigate to the folder you extracted the font to by using the folders list in the 'Add Fonts' dialog. Once you find it it will show in the list click it and then click 'OK' and then its installed and will be available for your use in Word or whatever other program you want to use it in.

Answer 2

You have to download WinZip to unzip the file. Then drag the file into Control Panel, Fonts Folder, and install it. You do this under File, Install Font. The path is C:\Windows\Fonts. Be sure to click on the Copy Fonts to Folder and presto. When you open your word processor it should be there. You may not want to bother with the zip file once you see the good selection you already have.

Answer 3

well first download Winzip from download.com
then download a font, i usually go to dafont.com to download them
then when you download it, Winzip will open up and when it does, click on the font file, and click Extract at the top. then extract it to any folder you want.

then after you do that, go to Start>Control Panel>Appearence and Themes>(on the left side under See Also)click on Fonts.

Then you'll see a bunch of font names.
Minimize that Window and go to the file where you extracted your font.
Find your font and drag that into the window that you minimized with all your fonts in it.
Then your font will install, after that, you're done! Hope that helped
