Fonts--Some Free Fonts and GETTING 'Rednesek'

Oct 10, 2002 13:34

How about some nice places to find free fonts?

Before you download any other fonts, you really need to have Redensek for making 'blinky' icons (meaning those popular icons where the letters of words blink from one letter to the next).

After i've downloaded the fonts how do I unzip them?? xXx

You Should Get... kevinr October 10 2002, 14:18:25 UTC

A copy of Winzip (comes in handy all the time, actually).

You can get a free evaluation copy here:
http://winzip.com/

Then all you have to do is double-click the zipped file and winzip should automatically pop up.

Do make yourself a 'new' folder (fonts?) to download into, though. It can be confusing for you otherwise.

Good luck!

here's how i do it, which is a bit more complicated. try and follow my train of thought ;)

use winzip to unzip it. (if you're unsure of even how to do that, just use the winzip wizard instead of classic. it will do it for you!)

after that, you have the option to open the folder that you unzipped to. do so. at that time, use the cut function and cut the file from that folder. then go to my comptuer > c > windows > fonts and then drop it in there.

if this makes no sense, post again and i'll try it again. ;)

have a good day!

geez how can i get the fonts i d/l to work? i d/l them, open winzip and then?!?! i extracted it to another folder but what i see is just a page with examples =( can anyone help me?!

It's Okay... kevinr December 15 2003, 13:44:20 UTC

If you've set 'em up in a FONTS folder on your desktop (extracted them there), then you can use these by simply opening up a font. What you see is what you've described--a sample of how the fonts will look.

Just minimize the sample--but don't CLOSE it! Then when you open PSP7, you'll find that given font is now available.

If you want it available all the time, you need to load it to your Windows fonts folder.

Go to Start then Settings then Control Panel. Open the Fonts folder. Click on File and Install new font. You'll need to browse to find fonts (in whatever folder) that you want to install there...

Does that make sense?

I'm looking for a specific font called 04_24 that I can't get on DaFont; although someone in this community in the past has given me a link to a webpage where I could download it - I lost it cause I had to wipe my hard drive. Any chance of some help, please? Thank you!
