My Mac-user sister was using (*gasp*) a PC when she called asking me how to add a font in a Windows based program. Knowing that she's very visual (she's a photographer), I made up this tutorial for her:

  4. Find the "Fonts" Folder
  5. Drag and Drop your new Font into the "Fonts" Folder!





And here's where to get some new fonts!

Kevin & Amanda: Free Fonts!
1001 Free Fonts (I've been getting fonts from them for YEARS.)
DaFont
Abstract Fonts
Urban Fonts
Font Garden
Font Garden's HUGE List of Font Sites

And make fonts out of your own handwriting:
FontCreator from High Logic ($)
YourFonts ($)
Fontifier ($)
InteractImage (kind of lame)
