I copied these instructions for you from >>
http://www.dafont.com/en/faq.php#win
Detailed explanation
 Go to the place where you saved the font.
Read these instructions.
 Double-click on the zip to open it.
 Drag and drop the files with the .ttf, .otf ou .fon extension
elsewhere from the zip window (hold down the CTRL key to select
several at once).
If the extensions are not displayed, click the Tools menu of any
folder > Folders Options > Display tab > uncheck the stupid "Hide
file extensions for known file types" item.
 Place these files into the Fonts folder, usually C:\Windows\Fonts
or C:\WINNT\Fonts
(can be reached as well by the Start Menu > Control Panel >
Appearance and Themes > Fonts).
Note that with the internal unzip tool of XP (unlike Winzip), you
cannot install a font by a simple drag and drop of the .ttf from the
zip window to the Fonts window. You must first drag and drop it
anywhere (for example on the desktop) then in the Fonts folder.
You can also go through : File > Install a new font... in the Fonts
folder menu then browse the fonts, instead of drag and drop the
fonts into the window. Although this method is laborious, it would
seem that it functions better in certain cases.
Tip : if you punctually need a font, you don't need to install it.
Just double-click on the .ttf file, and while the preview window is
opened you can use it in the programs you'll launch. ]]

the one I really would like is celticmd.zip and I downloaded it from
dafont.com and a few other pesonal websites. I need to know how to
unzip them, I know that seems like an easy question, but I'm stuck.
:
Maybe they *are* invalid or damaged.
What are the fonts and where are you downloading them from?

I'm trying to get some new fonts I've downloaded into my Word so I
can use them, but when I try to, it says they are invalid or
damaged. I've downloaded several from different websites and they
all say the same thing. Anyone have any idea if I'm missing a
step?
