How do you add writing styles or fonts to your computer?

October 29th, 2007

Question: i was just wondering how you get new styles of writing for you to use if the computer hasn’t already got that style stored on it? if you know what I mean? 

Answer:  I am assuming that you mean a font style (these are the different writing styles you see in a program like Microsoft Word or WordPerfect).  These styles are usually saved as .ttf files on you computer (meaning “true type font”).  There is a file on your computer that stores these files (mine is stored in a folder called “Fonts”).  Every computer is a little different when it comes to downloading fonts. 

I have included a link below on how to add fonts to your computer:

Once you know how to download fonts, you can purchase or find free ones on the internet.  If you are looking from free fonts, just do a general search for “free fonts” on the internet and you might find what you are looking for.  We sell several fonts that are more specialized and perfect for scrapbooking here. These fonts are fun and almost always under $1 each.
