    (First off, I wasn't sure to put this in "Other Guides", but it wasn't a neopets guide, so I decided to leave it here...mods throw it over there if you think it should be there.)

    1. Go to http://www.1001freefonts.com/ and find some fonts you like. For my guide, I will use Edison(from Old English Fonts) and Moo Cow(from Animal Fonts).

    2. Click on the "Download Win Font" button.

    3. A box should come up, select "Save File", then hit OK.

    4. Highlight both of them on your desktop, then hit the Application Key. [​IMG] (It is between the Right Windows button and the right Control button)

    5. Select "Extract Here".

    6. You should now have your font files....you need to select both of them and copy them.

    7. Now open up your fonts window. Start - Control Panel(with classic view) - Fonts.

    8. Now just paste in your fonts that you copied from your desktop!

    9. You should now have your fonts installed. :) No more boring Times New Roman or Georgia.

    Though this guide is somehow simple, I think it's really easy to understand and includes lots of details.
    Would have +repped, but I +repped you not so long ago.
    So consider you have an invisible reputation point :p
