    I’m having problems installing certain .ttf fonts. I’ve tried several times with method #2 but the system says that it’s impossible to install the font. If I right click on the font the option “install” doesn’t even appear. Can you tell me if there’s anything else that I can do?

      Is it just one font? Perhaps you could re-download it as it may be corrupted. If it’s not corrupted (i..e when you double click on it, the preview works), let us know. (Also, it doesn’t hurt to double check if it already got installed somehow.)
