Technical question?

I have recently downloaded a new font from the download section on the BioRust website but I'm not sure on how to install it. I did extract the file to Windows > Fonts but it isn't appearing in my fonts pallette of any of my programmes. Could someone please help me?

Ahhhh. This is a wierd quirk of windows. You cannot EXTRACT fonts from an archive into the fonts folder, because it doesn't actually install the font. What you need to do is extract the font to your desktop (or any physical location that isnt another archive), and then copy/move it to c:/windows/fonts. As soon as you do this you'll see the installation dialog, and that will be your confirmation that everything is installed OK. Its a most annoying flaw in the windows design, and I sure hope MS fix it in Windows Vista/Longhorn....

Well... sometimes you just have to look one more time, alot of my downloaded fonts is random put in, it has no order at all...

Try to look for it one more time...

EDIT: I can install right from zip/rar

Thank you for your advice man1, the front was there but it wasn't properly installed so your copy/paste ideal worked, thank you
