JUST THINGS

Fonts are so much fun-- especially the "dingbat" fonts..they are little symbol graphics of all kinds of objects- trains, bats, hippy symbols, animals, birds, etc.

You can use them to decorate your letters, or graphics or any art work.

They correspond to the letters of the alphabet- an "A" might be an eagle or an arrow pointing up "B" a robin. or an arrow pointing down

Windows comes with some dingbats already in the font folder only they are called WINGDINGS..they are mostly symbols, curley qu's, arrows. If you havent noticed them - go to your WORD program and scroll down and you will see them listed as WINGDING 1-2-3

So once you find the font you want to use how to you get it in the font folder on your computer???

Well its really easy just follow these steps...

#1. First you will download them off the site you have found them on and onto your computer. Most of the font files are in what is called a ZIP file which means that all the font info is contained in one folder. You will need a program called WINZIP which is free and can be found here. All this little utility does is unzip the font that you have downloaded. You will see a listing of the font, maybe a help file, or a readme file that contains info about the author of the font and other info.Next to the font you will see TTF which is a "true type font" and the type of font that windows uses. You may see other types of fonts listed for macs but you want the true type!

#2. You will see a button at the top of the winzip that says EXTRACT and when you hit that button you will see a box that lists all the folders on your computer. Dont get freaked out ..this part is easy--

Look down the list until you see LOCAL DISK "C" and click on it. Then look for WINDOWS and click on it. Then find the FONT folder and click on it. once you have found it simply hit the EXTRACT button on the right hand side of the screen and the font will be installed into the font directory!
