xp fonts from web list

[lakeshoregirl]

Hello,
I have just installed xp and all is fine. But I need
alot more fonts. I went to the Microsoft site and I saw
a list of the fonts that are included in xp but they are
not on my list. The list shows files, name of font etc.
but it not downloadable,,,how do I get more fonts. Do I
have to purchase them??
thanks for your time and trouble, chris.

Not sure about the fonts included with XP. But there are
tons of free fonts located on the internet.. Just do a
search for "free fonts". Or check out www.typenow.net
they have a bunch of free fonts. Installing them is
simple.. Youll most likely get the fonts in a zip file..
extract the file to a temp directory. Then open windows
explorer, goto Windows\Fonts directory with the fonts
directory highlighted.. in windows explorer.. click
FILE.. INSTALL NEW FONTS.. a window opens and asks you
where the fonts are that need to be installed. Just
browse to the directory you extracted the font to,
highlight the font and click install.
Hope that helps.. enjoy
