How to Install Fonts on Your PC

6 Jan

The Rapid E-Learning blog had a good post on how to create your own handwritten fonts.  I covered it in a bit of detail on a recent post about adding visual interest to your slides.

How to PowerPoint - install fonts

As soon as the font post was published, I got a bunch of emails asking how to install the fonts.  So here’s a quick tutorial that shows how to install new fonts to your PC.  You’ll see it’s pretty easy.

Click here to view the tutorial.

Here are the basic steps:

  • You can right click on a font, and select install. 
  • Or open your control panel.  Look for the fonts folder.  Then drag and drop the font to the folder.  It should install automatically.

    I have the font SYSTEM in fonts file; hit install; it installed. But, WORD and PPT 2010 do not recognize it in their font lists. Win 7 64-bit.

    Any suggestions?
