installing fonts with themes

pk_volt · 09-05-2007, 01:22 AM

I downloaded a theme from Customize.org - Download Themes, Skins, Wallpapers and Icons for Windows from the original skin site!

it comes with a font folder, but doesn't include a readme on how to install it

I tried copying the fonts into the windows/font folder, but no go

any pointers?

Go to your fonts folder, and under the file menu, select "install new font"

Hell, can't you simply copy the font to the C:\Windows\Fonts folders and it'll auto-install?

I've had problems just copying fonts over sometimes. The other way, Windows knows what's happening and can do all the needed stuff to let the world know this font is here. Or something like that...

I tried doing that, but it says I need to remove the original font with the same filename before it can install the new one

I tried deleting it, but windows won't let me

also, how do I install icons?
