[Tachu]

for those of you who want better fonts in their graphics, but don't know how to download and install them, read this thread.

WARNING
REMEMBER I AM USING WINDOWS XP, SO IF YOU DO SOMETHING WRONG AND DAMAGE YOUR COMPUTER OR SOMETHING, DON'T COME CRYING OVER ME BECAUSE I VERIFIED THIS TUTORIAL ALREADY LIKE THOUSANDS TIMES

there are several websites in wich you may download fonts, read thread: Free Fonts

when you decide what font you want to download, press the download link and select "Save". it should be saved as a .zip file. after saving, extract the files (or unzip, however you call it). now, open the extracted file, right click on the font, and press copy. like this:



now follow this path:

Start > My Computer > Local Disk (C:) > WINDOWS > Fonts

When the Fonts folder opens, right click on a blank space and select "Paste" to install the font on your computer. I DONT RECOMMEND PRESSING CNTRL + V. like this:



that's it, your'e done. the font should now be available to use.

good luck!
