Windows supports TrueType fonts or fonts that are specially designed for Windows, and these fonts are available commercially. If your new font files are delivered in a zip file, extract them first. Once you have the font files ready just copy or move them to the fonts folder in the windows system directory and they will install automatically. You will be warned if a font with the same file name exists and it will not be installed. Rename your new font file if this happens and copy or move it again. Some programs also include special fonts that are installed as part of the program installation. Additionally, printers frequently come with TrueType or special Windows fonts. Follow the directions that come with these products to install these fonts. To prevent a font from loading without removing it from the hard disk, move the font from the Fonts folder into another folder. Use this method for troubleshooting purposes. This process does not completely remove the font, because font registry information is not deleted. However, it prevents the font from loading. More information from the
Microsoft support web site.
