| Installing Fonts on a Windows PC | |
Step 1 (Decompressing Downloaded Files)
All of the fonts found on 1001fonts.com are packaged in ZIP-archives (*.zip), which usually also include copyright information next to the actual font file. Before installing a font, you must extract the font from the the ZIP-archive to somewhere on your PC using a tool like 7-Zip (freeware) or ZipGenius (freeware). Best is to extract the ZIP-archive directly to your desktop or to a temporary folder (C:\Temp). Please remember where you extracted everything, because you will need to locate this place in the next step and you will most likely want to clean up after all the installing is done.
