Rules for Downloading
1. Comment when downloading a font. It helps me know which fonts are popular, and provides information for things like Font of the Month.
2. Always be polite when asking for a font. Remember that people have lives and you won't get an instant response.
3. Always be polite, period.
4. Do not be afraid to speak up if something is confusing you, or you have a problem with something. We're here to help.

FAQ for Downloading

How do I download a font?
On the post, there should be a link somewhere to the font. Just click that and you'll be lead to a site like You Send It. The link to download the font will be obvious, click that and just save the font wherever you can find it easily.

I get a message that the file has expired when I try to download it. What do I do?
You Send It files are only online for 7 days or 25 downloads (whatever comes first). Just comment on the post saying you want the font but it's expired, and the person should re-upload it. If they don't after two weeks (remember - we all have lives), comment here and we'll see what we can do.

How do I install a font?
This should explain everything properly. If it doesn't and you're having problems, pop over to icon_tutorial for some help. :)

And, finally, if you have any other questions/problems, just comment here and we'll help you ASAP.
