Hello,

Thanks for the question.

Assuming you are on a Windows XP machine, open your control panel (Start > Control Panel or Start > Settings > Control Panel, I believe) and you'll see a "Fonts" folder. Take the font file from your desktop and drag it to that folder and it'll install. That's one way to do it, anyway. :)

the easiest way is to open it and minimize it..Leave it minimized and it will show up as an installed font in word, PS, email, what ever you type..

When you're done, close it..It will be gone from your fonts until you need it again..That's the way I do it..
