How to download
First step is to choose a font. After that, click on the link that will take you to the font page.
The font page may have just one version of the font, or it may show multiple options like hollowed text or italic orientation. Most pages feature a very visible download button. Click on that and depending on your browser settings, you will either see a new window in witch you will choose the file destination or it will automatically go into your “Downloads” file.
Once you have the archive (most of the time fonts come in a .zip form) you can go to the next step.
How to install
When you install a font that you want to use right away, make sure you close Photoshop or Word or any other editors where you want to insert the new font. This way, the next time you will start the program, it will automatically contain the new movie font you have installed.
Next step is to extract the font from the archive using winrar (if you don’t have it, download it from winrar.com). Once the un-archived folder appears, double click it ????
Here you will usually find images of the font, help files and (the most important element of all) a true type font file. Open this file, an just click install. That’s all.
Now, when you will open your Photoshop, you will find the new font playing nicely with all the others.
See, that wasn’t so bad. Let me know if you find any other interesting geek movie fonts.
