Windows NT TrueType font installation

To add fonts to your computer:

1. In the Control Panel window, choose the Fonts icon. The fonts already installed are listed in the Installed Fonts box.

2. Choose the Add button.

3. In the Add Fonts dialog box, select the font you want to add. If the font is not located in the current drive or directory, select the drive and directory where it is located. You can add more than one font at a time. You can also select all the fonts listed by choosing the Select All button.

4. If you are low on disk space and want to use the fonts directly from the directory (network or local) where they are located, without copying the font files to the \systemroot\SYSTEM directory, clear the Copy Fonts To Windows Directory check box.

5. Choose the OK button.

6. Choose the Close button.

For help with the Fonts and Add Fonts dialog boxes, choose the Help button or press F1 while using the dialog boxes.
