    It didn't work. I already put the fonts into the folder but when I opened Word the new font wasn't there?

  • http://richr.org/ Rich

    With the font file in a folder other than the fonts folder, right click it, and click Install. That should work for you.

  • Daniel Sivco

    right click installed. Thanks!

    I’m using windows 7, and each font pack only has one font, any reason why?
