Unpacking Windows Fonts

The Windows font files you download here are ZIP files and have .ZIP in the file extension, or are self-extracting ZIP files and have .EXE in the file extension. Most newer Windows based systems support right clicking on ZIP files to either extract them, or open the ZIP file as though it was an actual folder on your system. If your system does not support this feature, you will need "Zip" software such as TurboZip or WinZip or FreeZip in order to unpack them. When you have ZIP extraction software installed, you should be able to start the extraction by double-clicking on the .ZIP or .EXE file.

After you have unpacked the file(s) you downloaded, follow the installation directions to install the fonts onto your system.
