That font tutorial I was talking about....

So you downloaded gimp and now you want some free fonts? Well I have a nifty tutorial to show you how

Step 1: Go to a site like dafont.com


Step 2: Choose the font you want...a free one

Step 3: Download the Font to your Computer, I'd recommend creating a folder just for downloaded fonts for organization. Make sure you save the file, not just open it.


Step 4: Once saved you need to open the folder with the font and extract it. Your computer should be able to extract the file or you can use a free program like IZArc, more about that later. Once extracted you should see the extracted files in your folder.


Step 5: Copy the extracted files, the file types are usually truetype font files. Make sure you don't copy the txt document they usually come with.



Step 6: Now find your program in your downloads folder(or elsewhere) and find the font folder. Once there simply paste the files in your folder, and you're done.
